In DUSTOFF, BFA student Garrick Morgenweck brings insight to the often unseen military practice of evacuating the wounded and dying from war and conflict zones. Dustoff is backronym for Dedicated Unhesitating Service to Our Fighting Forces -- and a callsign for these actions.

"Some of the individuals have volunteered for this duty, most notably the Flight Paramedics and Medical Service Corps Pilots, some have just been assigned to the mission. However, they all have a dedication and passion for the mission that is rarely seen outside their closed world, even in the military."
