Yongsan Garrison Uses Mass Casualty Knife Attack Exercise to Test Korean Emergency Response

Here is a mass casualty exercise recently conducted at Yongsan Garrison:

Starting Tuesday, this Army post in the middle of Seoul will rely on local emergency services from outside the gates when the base hospital suspends its emergency services. To test that relationship, the garrison security force on Thursday practiced summoning South Korean first responders to a pretend slasher attack by a knife-wielding soldier that yielded several casualties. “As the hospital begins to transition and move farther south, we are going to rely on host nation emergency medical services to provide response to medical emergencies on the installation,” Sgt. 1st Class Daniel Nichols, Yongsan provost sergeant, told Stars and Stripes. “Today, part of what we are testing is the ability to coordinate with the host nation EMS, get them onto the installation, and respond to a situation quickly.”
