Civilian and military first responders save lives during simulated collision

ELMENDORF AIR FORCE BASE, Alaska – First responders work together to save lives in response to a simulated train on bus collision as part of the Alaska Shield/Northern Edge 2007 exercise. Military and civilian emergency medical technicians partnered to transport the simulated victims to medical facilities for treatment. Alaska Shield/Northern Edge is a state of Alaska and U.S. NORTHCOM-sponsored homeland defense exercise involving federal, state, local and private agencies. In each scenario of the exercise, communication and cooperation between authorities at all levels are challenged as military and civilians work hand-in-hand to respond to both natural and man-made crises.
