00:05.888 --> 00:07.997
- [Voiceover] We'll send him to the OR, IT.

00:07.997 --> 00:09.516
- [Voiceover] I don't see anything on this side.

00:09.516 --> 00:10.623
Any pain when I press?

00:10.623 --> 00:11.685
- [Voiceover] I know he's got a jacked up arm.

00:11.685 --> 00:12.879
He's got (muffled by other speakers) trauma.

00:12.879 --> 00:15.144
I'm gonna roll him that way.

00:15.144 --> 00:16.910
- I'm here participating with my colleagues

00:16.910 --> 00:20.443
^in a joint exercise designed to ready ourselves

00:20.443 --> 00:23.358
^for emergency expeditionary medical treatment

00:23.358 --> 00:27.108
of coalition casualties in a foreign setting.

00:27.964 --> 00:31.322
When we move forward in a coalition environment,

00:31.322 --> 00:35.076
oftentimes hardened structures aren't quite in place yet.

00:35.076 --> 00:37.360
And that's where tent facilities like this

00:37.360 --> 00:39.890
marry up with First World medicine.

00:39.890 --> 00:43.053
And we're able to bring emergency and surgical capabilities

00:43.053 --> 00:46.274
to our coalition soldiers and partners.

00:46.274 --> 00:48.465
^- This whole evolution is focusing

00:48.465 --> 00:50.126
^on us learning the process.

00:50.126 --> 00:51.345
If we don't know the process

00:51.345 --> 00:53.293
when we're under stress and under pressure,

00:53.293 --> 00:56.876
our normal job becomes even more difficult.

00:56.959 --> 00:57.792
- [Lt. Mario] I think the army,

00:57.792 --> 00:59.200
again having had that corporate knowledge,

00:59.200 --> 01:02.259
they're helping to be our cadre, if you will.

01:02.259 --> 01:03.992
They're helping to kinda martial us

01:03.992 --> 01:06.200
through this process, evaluate ourselves,

01:06.200 --> 01:08.133
find out those areas that we're strong in,

01:08.133 --> 01:09.774
find out those areas that we could probably

01:09.774 --> 01:13.774
use some improvement on, and focus our training.

01:14.866 --> 01:18.112
^- So essentially, when a soldier or other service member

01:18.112 --> 01:19.867
^is injured in the field, they're carried,

01:19.867 --> 01:22.716
^usually by Medevac, and patients are treated here.

01:22.716 --> 01:24.539
They're stabilized, and from there,

01:24.539 --> 01:25.749
the Air Force people are here

01:25.749 --> 01:28.205
to help facilitate the transport of those patients

01:28.205 --> 01:32.340
into the AE system, or Air Medical Evacuation system.

01:32.340 --> 01:34.063
- Well, this is a fantastic training,

01:34.063 --> 01:37.113
as far as when they can see the type of injury

01:37.113 --> 01:39.978
that we are simulating and trying to train on,

01:39.978 --> 01:44.145
it's a lot easier to associate how you would then treat it.

01:44.264 --> 01:46.866
So in these scenarios, it's extremely important

01:46.866 --> 01:50.327
for us to try to make it as realistic as possible.

01:50.327 --> 01:52.794
- The biggest takeaway is for everybody, all services,

01:52.794 --> 01:54.044
to be flexible.

01:54.623 --> 01:56.475
All the medical treatment facilities

01:56.475 --> 01:57.840
are usually joint service,

01:57.840 --> 01:59.934
so you'll find Navy, Army, and Air Force personnel

01:59.934 --> 02:02.099
working in about every single facility.

02:02.099 --> 02:03.785
So we have to learn each other's acronyms,

02:03.785 --> 02:06.959
procedures, policies, customs, and courtesies,

02:06.959 --> 02:09.237
so that we all get along to achieve the mission.

02:09.237 --> 02:12.570
