00:08.540 --> 00:12.110
good and an

00:12.110 --> 00:14.250
Iraqi medical facility on Camp Taji

00:14.260 --> 00:16.316
soldiers listen intently to what the

00:16.316 --> 00:18.093
instructor says . What they are

00:18.093 --> 00:20.093
learning can help save the lives of

00:20.093 --> 00:22.260
their fellow soldiers . These soldiers

00:22.260 --> 00:24.316
are training to become combat medics

00:24.316 --> 00:26.204
and today they're learning how to

00:26.204 --> 00:28.204
properly given I . V . As part of a

00:28.204 --> 00:30.093
combat life saving course . Their

00:30.093 --> 00:32.260
instructors , sergeant admired the bar

00:32.260 --> 00:32.170
and Iraqi medic who has trained with

00:32.170 --> 00:34.170
coalition forces and is now helping

00:34.170 --> 00:36.560
train more rocky medics like himself .

00:36.570 --> 00:38.792
I like doing CLS classes because I like

00:38.792 --> 00:40.903
being a medic and I just want to help

00:40.903 --> 00:43.014
the Iraqi army and the Iraqi people .

00:43.014 --> 00:45.126
This class is very important for when

00:45.126 --> 00:47.292
we evaluate a casualty and treat him .

00:47.292 --> 00:47.190
When you are trained as a medic , you

00:47.190 --> 00:49.412
go outside the wire and there are a lot

00:49.412 --> 00:51.412
of people who want your help . So I

00:51.412 --> 00:53.579
want to say thank you to the coalition

00:53.579 --> 00:55.634
forces that have helped train us and

00:55.634 --> 00:55.560
given us assistance . Warrior Brigade

00:55.560 --> 00:57.504
soldiers stand by during the class

00:57.504 --> 00:59.560
helping sergeant the bar when needed

00:59.560 --> 01:01.671
and coaching the students along while

01:01.671 --> 01:03.560
they practice their newly learned

01:03.560 --> 01:05.671
lifesaving techniques . Private first

01:05.671 --> 01:07.338
class Mark Gray is a chemical

01:07.338 --> 01:09.504
specialist with 2 to 5 Brigade support

01:09.504 --> 01:11.727
battalion and would like to cross train

01:11.727 --> 01:13.727
over to the medical field . I think

01:13.727 --> 01:16.060
that these places are going really good .

01:16.060 --> 01:16.010
They're going smoothly , especially

01:16.010 --> 01:17.899
with the interpreter , constantly

01:17.899 --> 01:19.954
helping ourselves and they're really

01:19.954 --> 01:22.177
learning really quick quicker that they

01:22.177 --> 01:24.343
learn how to take care of themselves .

01:24.343 --> 01:26.566
The quicker we can actually get home to

01:26.566 --> 01:28.732
our loved ones and family . PFC . Gray

01:28.732 --> 01:30.677
says this training will help Iraqi

01:30.677 --> 01:32.732
people become more self sustaining ,

01:32.732 --> 01:34.677
and as these IA soldiers go out on

01:34.677 --> 01:34.420
missions , they will be able to help

01:34.430 --> 01:36.590
care for the Iraqi people and tend to

01:36.590 --> 01:38.757
their fellow soldiers when they are in

01:38.757 --> 01:40.979
