Airmen from multiple aeromedical staging squadrons work together to perform a cricothyrotomy, a procedure whereby a tube is inserted into a small incision made on the neck to establish an airway, on a body suit worn by an Airman at Fort Carson, Colorado, Aug. 16, 2023. The training was part of Exercise Mountain Medic 23, designed to test medevac and aeromedical evacuation capabilities in a joint-service austere battle zone. (U.S. Air Force photo by Tech. Sgt.
