Soldiers from U.S. Army Pacific (USARPAC) work with the People’s Liberation Army (PLA) to transfer patients with simulated injures for medical care to an evacuation camp they constructed together as part of the practical field exchange (PFE) during the 2015 Pacific Resilience Disaster Management Exchange (DME) on Jan. 18 at Macun Barrack in Haikou, Hainan Province, People’s Republic of China. The DME is designed to maximize hands-on, side-by-side interaction with the PLA on Humanitarian Assistance (HA) and Disaster Relief (DR) operations and enable sharing of lessons learned. The DME utilized the scenario of a fictional third country suffering from the effects of a typhoon, including major flooding in residential areas. (U.S. Army photo by Maj. Lindsey Elder, USARPAC PAO).
