District of Washington officials provide fast, safe evacuation for biological attack exercise
Capt. Daniel Ramirez flags a clean helicopter into the "landing zone" that was a vacant Pentagon parking lot that had been coated in a simulated biological agent July 11 at the Pentagon. The clean helicopter and its pilots were later swabbed to measure how contaminated they became as a result of the rotor wash. Air Force District of Washington Airmen worked with 18 different state and federal agencies assisting the Pentagon Force Protection Agency in an Operational Response Test designed to provide first responders with information on the best methods to decontaminate people following a biological attack. Captain Ramirez is a pilot with the 1st Helicopter Squadron at Andrews Air Force Base, Md. (U.S. Air Force photo)
