Airman 1st Class Yolanda Alvarez Hernandez, 341st Medical Operation Squadron, works on applying moulage, the application of mock injuries for the purpose of training, to a mannequin at Camp Atterbury, Indiana on April 19, 2018 during Guardian Response 18. Alvarez Hernandez learned how to prepare mannequins in an 8 hour course. This is the first time that she has applied moulage. When she returns to her squadron, based at Malmstrom Air Force Base, Montana, Alvarez Hernandez said, she was excited about being able to use this new skill to provide more realistic training. The mannequins are being used in Guardian Response 18 at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, so that service members can assess and treat casualties to see how they handle a multitude of different ailments. Army North executes the annual Vibrant Response consequence management exercise at the direction of Northern Command to confirm command and control elements of the nation’s CBRN response forces. Force Command’s linked exercise, Guardian Response, held at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center, validates how the subordinate units train to carry out the operations under the direction of a joint task force.
