The Dustoff Association, a military aeromedical evacuation trade group, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/100064565746703\/posts\/576217601207093\/\" target=\"_blank\">recognized the detachment<\/a> for having 2022\u2032s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.army.mil\/article\/260056\/\" target=\"_blank\">best rescue<\/a>, best pilot, best crew chief and best flight medic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So, when the Washington State Emergency Operations Center called for assistance with an injured hiker stranded near the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wta.org\/go-hiking\/hikes\/mount-adams-south-climb\" target=\"_blank\">\u201cLunch Counter\u201d formation on the Mount Adams volcano<\/a>, the flight crew knew what to do despite being unable to land on the 30-degree slope. As twilight faded after 9 p.m., flight medic Sgt. 1st Class Adrian Trujillo was hoisted down onto the slope, where he stabilized the injured woman.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2000\" height=\"1333\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yakima.jpeg.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-86932\" srcset=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yakima.jpeg.jpg 2000w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yakima.jpeg.jpg?resize=300,200 300w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yakima.jpeg.jpg?resize=768,512 768w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yakima.jpeg.jpg?resize=1024,682 1024w, https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/yakima.jpeg.jpg?resize=1536,1024 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2000px) 100vw, 2000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">A flight medic assigned to U.S. Army Air Ambulance Detachment-Yakima trains with local search and rescue volunteers in preparation for the summer rescue season.

He quickly stabilized the woman before hoisting her into the helicopter, which then transported her to a local hospital. The entire mission, from call to completion, took less than three hours, the detachment commander said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Wednesday\u2019s rescue was the unit\u2019s second civilian rescue of 2023\u2032s summer rescue season, according to brigade public affairs officer Capt. Kyle Abraham. Although the four-helicopter detachment is on-call 24\/7 for both training accidents at Yakima and civilian emergency missions, the summer months are by far the busiest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Last year, Abraham added, Yakima Dustoff rescued 17 civilians across 12 missions, in addition to completing nine medical evacuations from the training center.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That included three \u201clife-saving\u201d rescue missions <a
