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.

Navy Petty Officer 1st Class Paul Burden, a hospital corpsman with Special Purpose Marine Air-Ground Task Force - Southern Command, unpacks his gear for inspection during a strategic mobility exercise at Marine Corps Air Station Cherry Point, North Carolina, May 29, 2020. SPMAGTF-SC Marines and Sailors conducted a MOBEX to validate the unit’s ability to rapidly and effectively deploy to Latin America and the Caribbean for crisis response efforts. The MOBEX will help the task force identify any resource shortfalls required to deploy from Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, to U.S. Southern Command’s area of operations, and give the service members an opportunity to demonstrate their ability to rapidly deploy at a moment’s notice. Burden is a native of Pearl Harbor, Hawaii. (U.S. Marine Corps photo by Sgt. Andy O. Martinez)
