Fort Carson will practice responding to a mass-casualty accident with an exercise simulating an airplane crash.

The exercise takes place Wednesday at Butts Army Airfield at Fort Carson, just outside Colorado Springs.

The exercise will involve resources and personnel from around Fort Carson, including Evans Army Community Hospital and first responders from nearby communities.

It will test the post's emergency management plan and the ability of various departments to respond to a mass-casualty scenario.
