TZMD Air Haven

ZAZZU

TZMD operators participated in a multiagency mass casualty evacuation and asset consolidation exercise.

Simulated casualties were triaged and first aid administered at collection points before critical cases were evacuated by helicopter to area hospitals. TZMD operators assembled at takeoff points to lead emergency responders onto helicopters to consolidate response efforts at forward command centers.

“ Clear for takeoff! ”

The exercise involved hundreds of volunteers, including military, police, firefighters, medical responders, social workers, CERT members, search and rescue personnel, community leaders, administrators, and trainers. Go Teame!

Together with multiple state and private agencies, Teame Zazzu conducted a wilderness hard landing survival scenario involving air medical helicopters dispatched to a scene flight in Tooele County for a dirt bike accident. As the flight center worked on GPS coordinates the the pilot announces engine fire in flight. As the helicopters turn on final approach to LZ the pilot announces to crew to expect a hard landing with limited power. TZ forces deploy by air and ground serving as training guides, rescue operations support, and drone reconnaissance units to find the downed aircrews, fix their position, and document their survival until the search and rescue operations are finished.
