  • 386th Expeditionary Medical Group
Staff Sgt. Manuela DabuClark 

Contingency Aeromedical Staging Facility medical technician 

Home unit/base: 88th Medical Operations Squadron, Wright Patterson Air Force Base, Ohio 

How do you support the mission here? As a CASF medical technician, I support the mission by providing patient care, manpower and patient movement to include ground transportation for patients entering, transitioning or leaving the base. 

How many times have you deployed and what makes this one unique? This is my second deployment. Although we are limited with our resources of equipment and manpower, our team is able to join forces to find alternative ways to accomplish our mission, as well as support other missions. 

How does your job differ in a deployed environment vs. home base? This deployment gave me the opportunity and experience to work out of my comfort zone. It also gave me the chance to interact with different members of the military force.
