00:11.340 --> 00:13.396
marines and sailors from the adviser

00:13.396 --> 00:15.340
training sell , provide the combat

00:15.340 --> 00:17.284
lifesavers course to various units

00:17.284 --> 00:19.229
aboard camp Pendleton California .

00:19.229 --> 00:21.396
During the course , students learn and

00:21.396 --> 00:23.507
implement skills that will allow them

00:23.507 --> 00:25.729
to treat life threatening injuries in a

00:25.729 --> 00:27.896
combat situation . When medical aid is

00:27.896 --> 00:30.118
not available , marines need to be able

00:30.118 --> 00:32.420
to take care of their own . The Corman ,

00:32.630 --> 00:34.797
the corn can't be everywhere at once ,

00:34.797 --> 00:37.180
so it's kind of a force multiplier for

00:37.180 --> 00:39.550
the Corman to give them more medical

00:39.550 --> 00:42.170
hands to help take care of them , Birds

00:42.170 --> 00:43.948
says . As the week progresses ,

00:43.948 --> 00:46.170
instructors like to increase the stress

00:46.170 --> 00:47.837
level to simulate battlefield

00:47.837 --> 00:50.059
situations . We have instructors around

00:50.059 --> 00:52.281
yelling at him , tell him to hurry up ,

00:52.281 --> 00:54.281
which puts a lot of pressure on him

00:54.281 --> 00:54.280
under a little stress . It actually

00:54.280 --> 00:56.570
tests that can truly perform like in a

00:56.570 --> 00:58.737
combat situation . Although the stress

00:58.737 --> 01:00.737
level can be high . The training is

01:00.737 --> 01:02.570
critical for marines before they

01:02.570 --> 01:04.459
deployed . Since they're going to

01:04.459 --> 01:06.681
Afghanistan , you know , there's a huge

01:06.681 --> 01:08.903
thing with I . E . Ds . So with I . D .

01:08.903 --> 01:11.260
S , you can lose limbs and with that

01:11.270 --> 01:13.437
you need to stop that life threatening

01:13.437 --> 01:15.492
bleeds . The five day long course is

01:15.492 --> 01:18.100
held weekly by the A . T . C for units

01:18.100 --> 01:20.520
preparing to deploy , reporting for

01:20.520 --> 01:22.920
First Marine expeditionary force . I'm

01:22.920 --> 01:24.650
Lance corporal Mark Garcia .
