 Don Blitz-15 is building U.S. and coalition sea-based and amphibious landing capabilities, which are vital to effective crisis response support, regional security, and deterrence. One vital training scenario of Don Blitz was a casualty evacuation. U.S. sailors and Japanese self-defense force sailors and soldiers simulated numerous scenarios involving a service member getting wounded in the battlefield, assessing the situation and calling for an evacuation. This vital training gave the sailors and soldiers the time to learn how to conduct landing zone preparations and how to contact the ship for assistance. This scenario brought together sailors and soldiers from two nations and demonstrated, despite the language barrier, our ability to rapidly execute and assign mission.
