Technicians simulated harnessing and lifting the injured Airmen from the fuselage, performing self aid and buddy care, and assisting emergency personnel. The 442nd Fighter Wing is an A-10 Thunderbolt II Air Force Reserve unit at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo. (U.S. Air Force photo/Staff Sgt. Danielle Johnston)
