U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Daniel Townsend, Joint Task Force Civil Support Chief of Plans and Medical Operations, discusses why he entered the medical field. Townsend’s passion for helping others carries over to his role on the Incident Support Team (IST) with JTF-CS during Exercise Vibrant Response 23. JTF-CS operates several small teams prepared to provide command and control to military units responding to CBRN and all hazards defense support of civil authorities. This flexible construct allows JTF-CS to respond to multiple catastrophic incidents concurrently. (U.S. Air Force video by Staff Sgt. Frederick A. Brown)
