Senior Airman Richard Torres, with the 146th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron out of Channel Island Air National Guard Station, Calif., participates in a patient evacuations training during Alaska Shield 14 here, March 31, 2014. The Air National Guard worked closely with the Army National Guard to conduct the training, which took place on a C-130 Hercules. Alaska Shield 14 is an exercise that involves federal, state, local and military agencies, designed to test response and coordination efforts during a disaster and is modeled after the 1964 earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated much of South Central Alaska including the city of Valdez.
