Field ex's can be challenging, but it's always good to see people keeping a positive attitude.
Whether it's a long day, challenging conditions, or a busy schedule, these medics continue to show up, support their mates, and keep a smile on their faces.
A great reminder that teamwork and a positive mindset go a long way.

Whether operating on the beach, in the bush, or anywhere in between, the PMVA delivers protected medical support when it matters most.
🚑 Supporting the mission. Protecting the force.

Military Working Dogs play a vital role in supporting operations, making it essential that health personnel are prepared to provide timely and effective care when they’re injured or unwell.

As part of ongoing training, members of 2 HB worked in conjunction with the 2nd Combat Engineer Regiment to practice the process of receiving, assessing and managing a Military Working Dog through the Role 2 Enhanced Field Hospital, earlier this year during Ex Viper Walk. These realistic scenarios allowed personnel to rehearse patient reception, safe handling of a Military Working Dog, clinical workflow, and multidisciplinary coordination in a controlled environment, ensuring the team is ready to integrate veterinary support into deployed health operations 🏥 🐕
