ABOUT

On July 10-24, 2017, the Louisiana Care IRT contingent comprised of National Guard and Reserve assets of the U.S. Armed Forces will deploy to the medically underserved communities of Louisiana to conduct deployment and readiness training for military personnel. Incidental to military readiness training, the Louisiana Care IRT team will provide medical, dental and optometry care to assist local health and municipal authorities in addressing underserved and unmet community health and civic needs. Units will also conduct critical mission training and logistical movement in order to simulate military/civilian humanitarian operations and health care delivery in the time of crisis, conflict or disaster.

Marine task force completes exercise in preparation for Latin America deployment
Sgt. Justin Cortez, a civil affairs specialist with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force - Southern Command, speaks with a simulated disaster event evacuee during a general exercise at Marine Corps Base Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, April 15, 2020. Cortez was a part of the team at the debriefing station portion of the evacuation control center responsible for speaking with disaster relief evacuees to gain their knowledge of the event, while discerning false information that could be given out. The GENEX includes training events such as engineering projects and evacuation control center training scenarios that will help build the SPMAGTF-SC for their final certification exercise. These training events also provide the Marines and Sailors with real-world scenarios to prepare them for their deployment to assist partner nation militaries in Latin America and the Caribbean. Cortez is a native of Miami, Florida. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Cpl. Benjamin D. Larsen)
