The 379th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron takes a lift on a C-130 Hercules
Members of the 379th Expeditionary Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron prepare to load litters onto a C-130 Hercules assigned to the 746th Expeditionary Airlift Squadron at Al Udeid Air Base, Qatar, June 15, 2018. C-130s can be configured to allow litters to be strapped to either sides of metal posts connected at the ceiling and floor of the aircraft. The aeromedical evacuation team starts by setting up the litter stanchions, then installs oxygen lines, and then attach the equipment that will be used during the mission, all before patients are brought aboard. Setting up these posts to accommodate for litter patients is time consuming, so aircrews have to work efficiently to configure the aircraft. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Xavier Navarro)
