[MilCom] military MAST traffic in the NE US

[Ken]

Ben:

Overall I don't think that's there's ANY formal MAST programs left in the 
US...  What's on the webpage for civilian helos is what the expected 
emergency medical standard is so the military is NOT in a primary role.

However, there is an exeception  --- There is a program called National 
Disaster Medical System  see http://ndms.dhhs.gov/ which does have military 
support component (e.g. aeromedical evacuation (airlift) out of major areas 
of the disaser e.g. very strong earthquakes).  Of course there also could be 
Army National Guard & Reserve helo units operating in a tactical medical 
evacuation mode as well as some field type hospitals being set up.

For the most part my previous posts (check the archieves) showing Army 
National Guard frequencies by state would be the best bet for most of the 
tactical medical evacuation.  Also there's civilian teams specific 
designated for response to disasters.  Within each state region there's 
usually some civilian medical UHF & VHF freqs designated for emergency 
coordination and the military may have access to these freqs.

Your listing for the 439 Aeromedical Staging Squadron isn't correct.  This 
is actually an AF Reserve unit.  Also the frequency shown is not correct. 
At this point my guess is most likely the 439th would be using 
digital/digital encrypted type radios systems as well as HF SSB & digital 
printer type technologies.
