Pararescuemen from the 58th Rescue Squadron out of Nellis AFB, fast rope out of a HH-60 Pavehawk as they reach the simulated crash site, at Ft. Huachuca, during a mass casualty scenario as part of exercise Angel Thunder. The Mass casualty scenario involved two CH-47 Chinooks crashing. Pararescuemen from the 48th and 58th Rescue Squadrons were flown in on HH-60 Pavehawks by the 66th and 305th Rescue squadrons, while A-10 Thunderbolt II's from the 358th Fighter Squadron provided security around the area. Once on the ground, the Pararescuemen asessed the scene, provided quick triage to survivors, relocated the survivors to the casualty collection point, where the survivors were then loaded onto a HC-130, 79th Rescue Squadron, and transported to Davis-Monthan AFB-simulating a level 2/3 medical facility.
