💥 SHIFTING TO A WARTIME MINDSET: Phoenix Forge 2026!💥

Last week, Airmen from 17 different Air Mobility Command (AMC) Wings descended on Dover AFB for Phoenix Forge—and our Medical Group was on the ground to make sure the training was as realistic, demanding, and safe as possible!
Our MDG team was proud to provide the critical support that made this MAJCOM-level exercise a massive success:

• Next-Level Realism: Our team utilized expert moulage to prep 34 "casualties" (both actors and mannequins), simulating severe combat traumas like blast injuries, open fractures, and facial burns. This lifelike realism pushed 28 participants to their limits during intense Mass Casualty (MASCAL) and Mass Fatality scenarios!

• Tactical Skills in Action: We facilitated hands-on Tier 1 and Tier 2 Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) runs, 9-Line MEDEVAC calls, and MIST reporting drills.

• 24/7 Safety Net: Our medical teams provided dedicated, round-the-clock field support and active medical monitoring to keep all training participants and cadre safe in the dirt.
From base defense to emergency triage under Agile Combat Employment (ACE) scenarios, these Airmen practiced the leadership and survival skills they need to win in a simulated combat zone.

A massive shoutout to all the MDG personnel who volunteered their time, came in early, and worked tirelessly behind the scenes to deliver this world-class training. Check out the action from last week! 📸

Protecting Our Community: Understanding Cyclospora and How to Safeguard Your Health

There has been an uptick in Cyclospora cases across the nation, and it's important to know how to protect yourself and your family.

What is Cyclospora?
Cyclospora is a microscopic parasite that can cause gastrointestinal illness.

This parasite is often found in contaminated water (f***s) or fresh produce like lettuce, basil, and raspberries. It can hide on fresh fruits, herbs, and leafy greens.

Is Your Salad Safe? Simple Steps to Protect Your Family:
Washing your produce is great, but standard kitchen sprays don't always kill this parasite. The main prevention strategy is to thoroughly wash, scrub, and/or cook all fresh fruits and vegetables before consumption. Here's how you can protect your family in 4 simple steps:

1. Wash Up First:
- Scrub your hands with warm water and soap for 20 seconds before touching food, and after handling or preparing raw fruits and vegetables.

2. Rinse and Scrub Thoroughly:
- Wash all fruits and vegetables thoroughly under running water before eating, cutting, or cooking – even if labeled as pre-washed. Gently rub each leaf of lettuce, spinach, or basil under cold running tap water. Scrub firm fruits and vegetables (like melons and cucumbers) with a clean produce brush. Cut away any damaged or bruised areas.

3. Choose Whole Greens & Discard Outer Leaves:
- Instead of pre-bagged salad mixes, consider buying whole heads of lettuce. Peel away and throw out the outer two to three layers of outer leaves before washing the rest.

4. Cook When Possible:
- For the highest safety, cooking greens and other vegetables to a temperature of at least 158°F (70°C) is the absolute best way to make sure the parasite is completely gone.

Store Safely:
Refrigerate cut, peeled, or cooked fruits and vegetables as soon as possible (within two hours).

When to Call the Doctor:
Symptoms of Cyclospora infection can include watery diarrhea, stomach cramps, nausea, loss of appetite, weight loss, bloating, increased gas, and heavy fatigue. If you or your family experience these symptoms, contact your local Military Medical Treatment Facility (MTF) or primary care provider.
Important Note: Standard stomach tests don't always look for this specific parasite, so make sure to tell your doctor if you recently ate raw produce!
