The 316th Operations Support Squadron Aerospace Physiology unit at Joint Base Andrews conducted a decompression sickness exercise in an altitude chamber. Airmen participated in a simulated test, completing a worksheet with personal questions, math problems, and a maze while being observed. The exercise aims to assess their performance under pressure.
This training is crucial for Airmen to understand how their bodies react to high-altitude conditions, ensuring their safety and effectiveness in various missions. The exercise also helps the unit to evaluate and improve their procedures for preventing decompression sickness.
