Technical Sgt. Robert Smeaton, 459th Airlift Squadron UH-N1 Iroquois flight engineer, secures patient stretcher to a helicopter during patient transfer training, March 30, 2018, at Yokota Air Base, Japan. The 459 AS ability to provide patient transfers cuts the critical travel time considerably compared to the same routes taken by an ambulance. (U.S. Air Force photo by Senior Airman Donald Hudson)
