Slideshow of dramatic footage of a day in the life of crew onboard a Medical Emergency Response Team (MERT) flight with commentary by Flight Sergeant Tony Kyle.
The pictures show a MERT crew going to the aid of an Afghan casualty as part of their tasking in Helmand province.
The MERT is able to deliver expert pre-hospital emergency care at the point of injury and then rapidly recover casualties to the deployed hospital at Camp Bastion. Each MERT consists of a military doctor, an RAF emergency nurse and two RAF state-registered paramedics. Royal Air Force Regiment gunners provide armed protection when the Chinook helicopter lands for the crew to collect the casualty.
