Sailors assigned to Navy Medicine Readiness and Training Command San Diego (NMRTC SD) participate in a first-of-its-kind simulated Role 2 training exercise, October 29, 2026, at Naval Medical Center San Diego (NMCSD). The exercise focused on preparing Expeditionary Medical Unit 3 (EMU-3), Casualty Receiving Treatment Ship 8 (CRTS-8), and En-Route Care System (ERCS) personnel. Role 2 medical operations represent a critical tier in the military's chain of survival, providing field surgery, basic laboratory work, and advanced trauma stabilization close to the front lines, bridging the gap between basic battlefield first aid and a full-scale hospital.
