00:00.641 --> 00:03.058
(rock music)

00:12.010 --> 00:14.480
- My name is Lieutenant La'Portia Jackson,

00:14.480 --> 00:19.480
and I am currently working in Ucero G3 Mission Support,

00:20.220 --> 00:23.240
but for the past week I have been participating

00:23.240 --> 00:26.043
in the International Combat Lifesaver Course.

00:26.850 --> 00:30.710
On one of the days when we were going through our scenes

00:30.710 --> 00:32.710
and going through the different iterations,

00:32.710 --> 00:34.603
we were doing the TC3.

00:34.870 --> 00:37.860
One of the rooms we went in where we had patients down,

00:37.860 --> 00:41.370
there was no lights, and there was a lot of smoke and fog,

00:41.370 --> 00:44.640
so it made our visibility low, but we still had

00:44.640 --> 00:47.600
to get to our patients and do immediate

00:47.600 --> 00:49.700
lifesaving interventions for just controlling

00:49.700 --> 00:51.013
the massive bleeding.

00:51.170 --> 00:53.470
So from there, we had to go in as a team.

00:53.470 --> 00:56.853
We had to make sure the other team maintained security.

00:57.020 --> 01:00.240
And then from there, when we had applied the tourniquet

01:00.390 --> 01:02.740
for the immediate and lifesaving intervention

01:02.740 --> 01:05.790
for the massive bleeding, then we all gathered

01:05.790 --> 01:08.033
and we moved out from care under fire.

01:10.550 --> 01:12.760
We got to the next designated area.

01:12.760 --> 01:14.450
We had to reassess our patients.

01:14.450 --> 01:17.700
We had to do more interventions if that's what was needed.

01:17.700 --> 01:19.540
We had to gather our patients back up.

01:19.540 --> 01:21.393
We had our patients on a stretcher,

01:21.520 --> 01:24.910
and we had to move out to get to the med-evac,

01:24.910 --> 01:27.210
to make sure those patients were there on time

01:27.450 --> 01:29.730
and that it was under amount of time

01:29.730 --> 01:32.180
where we could make sure that those interventions

01:32.180 --> 01:35.343
did work so we can save those patients' lives.

01:36.000 --> 01:38.390
The International Combat Lifesaving course

01:38.390 --> 01:42.040
taught by Oserge is a very great course,

01:42.040 --> 01:45.400
and I would recommend any soldier that's medical,

01:45.400 --> 01:48.850
or even non-medical, to go through and get that training.

01:48.850 --> 01:51.523
If you medical, it's a refresher for you,

01:51.600 --> 01:54.000
and if you're non-medical, it's teaching you things

01:54.000 --> 01:56.340
that you did not know and how to make sure

01:56.340 --> 01:58.550
you can save your battle buddy's life

01:58.550 --> 01:59.850
while out there on the field.

01:59.850 --> 02:02.860
So I highly recommend going and being part

02:02.860 --> 02:05.033
of the course when it's held again.
