00:00.136 --> 00:04.303
(dramatic music)
(muffled speaking)

00:06.308 --> 00:07.969
- On Combat Life Saving, we talk about

00:07.969 --> 00:10.290
everything that you'd see on the battlefield.

00:10.290 --> 00:14.191
^Injuries, and how to treat them, what interventions to use

00:14.191 --> 00:17.061
^and making sure that you're saving lives properly.

00:17.061 --> 00:19.439
- Comin' into the course, I didn't really know much,

00:19.439 --> 00:21.488
just the basic tourniquet stuff.

00:21.488 --> 00:24.048
Some of the stuff that we covered in the course

00:24.048 --> 00:26.217
^was the first thing you're gonna check

00:26.217 --> 00:28.784
^is there's any massive hemorrhages,

00:28.784 --> 00:32.010
^whether it's on the leg, arms, the neck,

00:32.010 --> 00:34.510
and then, once you treat that,

00:34.669 --> 00:37.281
we were gonna get 'em right off the X.

00:37.281 --> 00:38.597
And then we're gonna check for his airway,

00:38.597 --> 00:40.890
make sure that the casualty's breathing.

00:40.890 --> 00:42.997
And, if not, we're gonna go to steps

00:42.997 --> 00:45.852
to make sure that your casualty is breathing.

00:45.852 --> 00:47.442
- Being with the Marine Corps,

00:47.442 --> 00:51.369
it's important for the Corpsmen to pass on their knowledge,

00:51.369 --> 00:52.811
so if something is to happen to them,

00:52.811 --> 00:55.197
their Marines are gonna be able to step up

00:55.197 --> 00:57.069
and help save the life of their teammates.

00:57.069 --> 00:58.810
What I like to tell the Marines is

00:58.810 --> 01:00.746
just like being a rifleman is a perishable skill

01:00.746 --> 01:02.478
if you don't practice your craft,

01:02.478 --> 01:05.832
same thing with the CLS course and medicine.

01:05.832 --> 01:09.701
So, it's important that Marines do this course often

01:09.701 --> 01:11.657
and the Corpsmen are reiterating skills

01:11.657 --> 01:13.659
and being brilliant in the basics.

01:13.659 --> 01:15.763
- This frequency, call Brian, call Taylor.
