Medical Corps
Members of the CMU, National Ambulance Service Army Reserve, Air Corps, Ordnance Corps and Civil Defence, participated in 'Exercise Cuchulainn', a multi-agency Major Incident exercise in the DFTC involving over 100 personnel. The main objective was to exercise DF and HSE paramedics in the management of a complex mass casualty/major incident. This scenario was based on the London Bridge terror attack in 2017, and was replicated on the ground in the MTF, DFTC.
This exercise was planned and executed by the CMU. Check it out on X.
