A flight for life: Citizen Airman Jason Pureza’s mission to Midway

Capt. Jason Pureza, a member of the 624th Aeromedical Staging Squadron Critical Care Air Transport Team, demonstrates treatment techniques he used while on call in his civilian capacity during a Unit Training Assembly at Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, on Jan. 11, 2025. The CCATT is a specialized unit trained to provide advanced in-flight medical care for critically ill or injured patients during aeromedical evacuations. Pureza’s civilian experience as a night on-call critical care nurse practitioner and his military skills help prepare him to handle emergencies independently.
