Spc. Michael Torrente (left), and Spc. Michael Gonzales, both medics with 2nd Battalion, 17th Field Artillery Regiment, a 2nd Brigade, 2nd Infantry Division asset, carry a simulated casualty to an evacuation point, March 21, at the Medical Simulation Training Center on Joint Base Lewis-McChord, Wash., during scenario-based training March 20-22, that pushed them and other 2nd Brigade medics to work under pressure one last time before the brigade deploys next month to Afghanistan. The exercise had the medics, who were on a foot patrol, responding to vehicles hit by roadside bombs and then transporting the wounded "200-pound dummies" to evacuation points.
