SCOTT AIR FORCE BASE, Ill. -- The 932nd Airlift Wing, an Air Force Reserve Unit at Scott Air Force Base, along with the 375th AW, active duty, will host an Aeromedical Evacuation Jamboree Aug. 17 at 8 a.m on the flightline.

Aircraft and AE squadrons from across the country will participate in this training event intended to familiarize AE crew members with aircraft not typically flown at their home stations.

Four AE Jamborees have taken place since 2006, but this is the first such event to be co-sponsored by and to include both active duty and reserve AE elements. 

For each event, planners from Air Force Reserve Command, 4th Air Force and 22nd Air Force and various host units have incorporated lessons learned into the subsequent jamborees.

Media interested in covering the event must RSVP by calling (618) 256-4241 or 256-4206 no later than 4:30 p.m. Aug. 14.

Because of tight space, no television trucks are allowed. All media representatives (one reporter, one photographer/videographer with tripod) will be required to meet at the Scott AFB MetroLink Station by 7:30 a.m.
