Airmen from the Kadena Medical Clinic responded alongside members of the 18th Civil Engineer Squadron to a simulated mass casualty event during exercise Beverly Beach 26-1, practicing the rapid assessment, treatment and movement of patients under realistic conditions.
This comprehensive scenario united medical personnel, firefighters, and support Airmen from various specialties, all working in concert to establish patient priorities, coordinate care, and efficiently move casualties through critical stages of treatment. Such rigorous, cross-functional training is vital, reinforcing the expeditionary medical teams' reliance on seamless teamwork to deliver exceptional care during high-tempo operations.
For Defense Health Network Central, the participation of Kadena's medical personnel in exercises like Beverly Beach 26-1 directly underpins our greater mission: ensuring a medically ready force and a ready medical force across all 39 of our Military Medical Treatment Facilities, ready to support global operations and safeguard the health of our service members and their families.

Want faster recovery and better endurance? Ditch the v**e.

Va**ng impairs your lungs and slows recovery. From high-intensity training to sustained operations, nicotine-driven stress reactivity could be degrading your readiness.

Reclaim your peak performance. Reach out to your local MTF or unit medical provider for tools and support.

Protect your readiness by moving smarter, not harder:

✔️Pack lighter boxes (under 30 lbs when possible).
✔️ Lift with a straighter back posture to reduce back strain.
✔️ Place heavier items within easy reach when loading vehicles.
✔️ Declutter before packing to reduce unnecessary lifting.

Mental fitness is critical to mission readiness. Under the Brandon Act, the Military Health System ensures that a service member can initiate a confidential referral for a mental health evaluation through a commanding officer or supervisor at any time.
