Multinational Medical Exercise Simulates Frontline Conditions
The Australian Defence Force recently conducted Exercise Viper Walk, a multinational medical exercise that tested the ability of aviators to evacuate casualties from simulated frontline conditions. The exercise, which ran from March 22 to 27, 2026, brought together personnel from the Australian Army, Navy, New Zealand Defence Force, and United States Pacific Air Forces. A key component of the training involved using non-medical aircraft for air evacuation, and a CT scanner was integrated into field hospital operations. The exercise emphasized interoperability between different services and nations, and was reported by AeroTime.
