TINKER AIR FORCE BASE, Okla. -- Members of the 72nd Medical Group worked side-by-side with Samaritan EMS during the emergency response exercise April 6 during a base wide major accident response exercise. The exercise is for preparation to the Air Show on May 20-21.  Moulage victims were sorted into four categories (minor, delayed, immediate and morgue) based on injury severity in the triage area. Medics gave immediate care to the victims and filled out individual triage tags, which shows such information as personal information about the victim, types of injuries, vital signs and mental state. The triage tags help inform EMS or other medical professionals about a victim’s state when they enter their care. (Air Force photos by Kelly White)
