U.S. Air Force personnel from the 35th Logistic Readiness Squadron executed a combined casualty and vehicle‑recovery drill at Misawa Air Base, Japan, on Feb. 11 2026. The exercise simulated extracting a wrecked vehicle from a ditch while providing immediate medical care, illustrating the squadron’s ability to sustain combat‑ready forces under fire. By fusing recovery operations with life‑saving treatment, the 35th Fighter Wing enhances its rapid‑movement capability in contested environments. The event was captured by Airman 1st Class Hannah Bench and released in October 2026.
