            <strong>KEESLER AIR FORCE BASE, Miss.  -- </strong>
            Five medical Airmen from here deployed to Texas, Aug. 30 to support Hurricane Harvey relief efforts. <br />
<br />
A Critical Care Air Transport Team and a medical logistics team from the 81st Medical Group are part of the Air Force&rsquo;s aeromedical evacuation system. The CCAT team typically consists of physicians specializing in areas such as critical care, emergency medicine, anesthesiology, surgery, and cardio pulmonology.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Our medical support personnel are trained to respond to humanitarian relief efforts like this one,&rdquo; said Maj. Jerry Thompson, 81st Medical Support Squadron readiness officer. &ldquo;It is very rewarding to see their hard work and sacrifices pay off to save lives and help people who were put in harm&rsquo;s way.&rdquo;<br />
<br />
The teams&rsquo; primary mission while deployed to Texas is to operate a flying hospital picking up patients in Houston who require advanced medical care and transporting them to a higher echelon of care. <br />
<br />
The teams will join the nearly 1,000 strong active duty, 3,500 National Guard and 3,000 Texas Guard called on to provide assistance following the historic flooding in Texas. <br />
<br />
Teams from Joint Base San Antonio, Texas, and Vance Air Force Base, Oklahoma, are also supporting the military response. <br />
