Senior Airman Emilie Canlas, 36th Aeromedical Evacuation Squadron aeromedical evacuation technician, reads over her checklist of assigned equipment April 9, 2020 at Keesler Air Force Base, Miss. The call for aeromedical support came just days after the Air Force Reserve mobilized more than 120 medical personnel across the nation to Joint Base McGuire-Dix-Lakehurst, New Jersey, to help with the fight against COVID-19 in New York City. The specific mission details of the aeromedical evacuation teams mobilizing today are still in coordination, but these Air Force Reservists can provide critical patient care at any location worldwide.
