Nine Citizen-Soldiers from the Oregon Army National

description

Summary

Nine Citizen-Soldiers from the Oregon Army National Guard's 224th Engineer Company, and one Citizen-Airman from the Oregon Air National Guard's 142nd Fighter Wing, conduct a variety of search and rescue scenarios throughout the week-long visit to Vietnam, Sept. 21-28, to include rappelling, rescue hoist operations, casualty extraction and rigging. The Oregon National Guard’s partnership with Vietnam's National Committee for Search and Rescue (VINASARCOM) officially began in November of 2012. This exchange is designed to use the expertise of Oregon's CERFP to enhance the capabilities of VINASARCOM in areas such as light and medium urban search and extraction and medical first response and provides the Oregon National Guard with an opportunity to learn skills and procedures used in Vietnam in times of disaster and emergencies that may not be as common in the U.S. (Oregon Army National Guard Photo by Staff Sgt.
