Alabama National Guard CBRNE Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFP)Airmen and Soldiers took part in a Casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) exercise, using actors to portray protesters and victims creating realistic stressors to simulate the chaos of a real-world emergency.

Alabama National Guard Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear and Explosives (CBRNE) Enhanced Response Force Packages (CERFP) airmen and soldiers recently took part in a casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) exercise, using actor-protestors made up of Army and Air Force ROTC students from Alabama State University and Auburn University.
