Johanniter Germany participates in EU MODEX in Romania
From 30th May to 4th June, the EU Module Exercise (EU MODEX) was held in Târgu
Mureș, Romania. Four Emergency Medical Teams (EMT) from Germany, Italy, and Romania,
as well as one European Civil Protection Team (EUCPT), one Technical Assistance
and Support Team (TAST) formed by Johanniter Germany, one CBRN Team from
Romania, and other Romanian civil protection capacities, improved their skills
in an exercise scenario in the aftermath of an explosion in a chemical plant.
During the exercise, 980 scenario casualties were treated within 72 hours.
Johanniter Germany participated with one 'EMT type 1 fixed' in the exercise and
treated 115 scenario patients. This was the first time the 'Johanniter EMT type
1' was set up and operated in its 'fixed'-variant in an international exercise. Previously, it was only operated in the smaller 'mobile'-variant. The
high performance in the new setup proved the team's capabilities and will allow
a more flexible deployment to real missions in the future.
