COLUMBUS, Ind. — Bartholomew County Emergency Management officials are reminding the community that a Guardian Response training simulation involving Columbus Regional Hospital will occur from 9 to 11 a.m. Thursday in Columbus.
The training will involve simulated patients or mannequins being transported by HH-60M Black Hawk helicopters and field litter ambulance trucks to Columbus Regional Hospital.
This segment of the exercise evaluates units’ ability to treat, triage, and transport patients from a simulated disaster area at Muscatatuck Urban Training Center to a higher level of care at a civilian medical center. Also, civilian emergency medical personnel will learn how to move patients from a military aircraft and ambulance into the hospital.
