Military aids Homer out of a “Rock and a Hard Place”

Civilian emergency responders carry a patient to a waiting USARAK Black Hawk helicopter as part of Exercise Rock and a Hard Place. The exercise scenario called for state and federal resources respond to assist the community of Homer and the Kenai Borough following a significant mudslide that damaged the South Peninsula Hospital and severed road and communications lines. The mass casualty-causing event required the rapid medical response of the State's Health and Social Services emergency response capabilities and the movement of patients from the damaged hospital to the Central Peninsula Hospital in Soldotna, Alaska.
