SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. —  

Approximately 400 military and civilian personnel gathered to reinforce a shared commitment to patient-centered care during Exercise Ultimate Caduceus 2026 held Sept. 2-12, 2026, at Scott AFB.

The annual patient movement field training exercise, led by U.S. Transportation Command, simulates receiving injured troops from overseas locations at designated aeromedical evacuation hubs and patient reception areas where federal coordinating centers and local partners receive, triage, stage, track and transport patients to pre-designated local definitive care facilities.
