Corpsmen prepare themselves for disaster response by refreshing skills

Petty Officer 2nd Class Jonathan Sosa finds a vein as he practices intravenous access skills at Clark Air Field, Pampanga, Republic of the Philippines, Sept. 21 as part of Amphibious Landing Exercise 2014. The afternoon of training allowed the corpsmen to refresh their skills as well as prepare for any humanitarian assistance mission that could occur within the Asia-Pacific Region. PHIBLEX 14 is an annual Philippine-U.S. training exercise that enhances stability and security within the region while also preparing both forces for humanitarian assistance and disaster relief. Sosa is a hospital corpsman with Combat Logistics Battalion 13, 13th Marine Expeditionary Unit. (Marine Corps photo by Lance Cpl. Anne K. Henry/RELEASED)
