Davis-Monthan Air Force Base (AFB) US Air Force (USAF) personnel simulate injuries as USAF medical personnel attend to them as part of an exercise for the National Medical Disaster System (NMDS). Personnel are simulating injuries sustained during an explosion by a terrorist attack at a baseball game in San Diego, California (CA). In this situation, there would be not be enough local treatment facilities to care for the injured personnel, so they are flown to a nearby state that could care for them. In this case, they are flown to Davis-Monthan AFB where their injuries are assessed, then taken downtown for treatment at various hospitals
