405 EAES trains with CCATT

Members from the 405 Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron, and the 379 EAES Critical Care Air Transport Team, from Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, practice emergency procedures for a rapid decompression of the aircraft, at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, June 29, 2023. Once a crew member dons the emergency passenger oxygen system, that member discontinues patient care, but must rely on other members of the team for assistance with their patients. AE crew members don an emergency oxygen system with a quick don mask attached to a MA-1 walk around bottle, which allows them to continue crew duties while running through emergency procedures.
