00:00.247 --> 00:03.414
(computerized sounds)

00:09.189 --> 00:10.730
- [Instructor] The purpose
of today's exercise

00:10.730 --> 00:12.725
is to familiarize our new medics

00:12.725 --> 00:14.740
as well as our senior medics

00:14.740 --> 00:17.220
in point of injury trauma assessment

00:17.220 --> 00:19.170
and interventions, as well as

00:19.170 --> 00:21.771
our role to assessments and interventions.

00:21.771 --> 00:22.890
- [Female Medic] Got a right
leg amputation over here.

00:22.890 --> 00:24.870
- We don't just conduct medic cables.

00:24.870 --> 00:26.280
We don't just conduct CLS.

00:26.280 --> 00:29.140
Any type of medical training
that you want to put on,

00:29.140 --> 00:31.980
as long as we can facilitate
it, that's what we're gonna do.

00:31.980 --> 00:33.600
- [Instructor] They have
the tools and techniques

00:33.600 --> 00:36.140
in this state of the art
facility to allow our medics

00:36.140 --> 00:38.480
to reach that state of life-like training

00:38.480 --> 00:39.850
for that future deployment.

00:39.850 --> 00:41.240
War essentially is chaos.

00:41.240 --> 00:44.700
We want to push that
training threshold as close

00:44.700 --> 00:47.540
to actual live combat as we can get it.

00:47.540 --> 00:49.140
- The more life-like and the more real

00:49.140 --> 00:50.670
that we can make our training,

00:50.670 --> 00:52.080
the higher chance that
our medics will be able

00:52.080 --> 00:54.010
to respond in the best appropriate manner

00:54.010 --> 00:55.350
when they see that in real life.

00:55.350 --> 00:56.870
When they see that in deployment,

00:56.870 --> 00:58.932
it's gonna give them a
better chance and be able

00:58.932 --> 01:00.870
to treat that patient on the
battle field and come out

01:00.870 --> 01:02.220
with the best option.

01:02.220 --> 01:05.520
- Medics are expected
to be self sufficient

01:05.520 --> 01:06.760
and self functioning.

01:06.760 --> 01:09.200
In most instances in the
military and in the army,

01:09.200 --> 01:10.580
everything's done as a team.

01:10.580 --> 01:12.469
The operation may be a team event,

01:12.469 --> 01:15.650
but there are very specific
things like a medical emergency

01:15.650 --> 01:17.680
with inside of that, that
becomes an individual

01:17.680 --> 01:19.850
that has to take charge and be able

01:19.850 --> 01:21.490
to manage the care of a patient.

01:21.490 --> 01:24.110
And typically, its only
one person or one medic.

01:24.110 --> 01:26.240
To develop that autonomy, you
have to be in an environment

01:26.240 --> 01:28.270
where you can kind of see other people

01:28.270 --> 01:30.310
and how they approach the situation.

01:30.310 --> 01:31.143
- So, I've never been able

01:31.143 --> 01:33.470
to treat a mass causality environment,

01:33.470 --> 01:35.690
so it made me be able
to see where my role is

01:35.690 --> 01:38.100
and how to take charge if I
was to need to take charge,

01:38.100 --> 01:40.160
or if I didn't need to take charge see how

01:40.160 --> 01:41.410
to follow the instructions of the person

01:41.410 --> 01:42.780
who was in charge of me.

01:42.780 --> 01:44.560
If you're training in a calm environment

01:44.560 --> 01:47.310
where you're just treating
and everything's very slow

01:47.310 --> 01:49.510
and you're doing it step by step,

01:49.510 --> 01:50.950
it's only going to help
you so much when you get

01:50.950 --> 01:52.990
into the real world or the real situation

01:52.990 --> 01:54.060
and you're going in
there, you're treating.

01:54.060 --> 01:55.620
It's not going to be step by step.

01:55.620 --> 01:57.250
- [Instructor] The exercise
was definitely a success.

01:57.250 --> 02:01.040
We saw improvement upon each
generation that was conducted.

02:01.040 --> 02:01.873
People are learning.

02:01.873 --> 02:04.600
They're listening to
what we're telling them.

02:04.600 --> 02:05.750
- It has met my expectations.

02:05.750 --> 02:07.610
Our intent for today's training was

02:07.610 --> 02:09.930
to get our new medics out there training,

02:09.930 --> 02:12.329
out there trying to
understand where they fit in

02:12.329 --> 02:15.830
on the team aspect of our company

02:15.830 --> 02:17.030
and I think that has been accomplished.

02:17.030 --> 02:19.440
We've kind of gotten rid
of some of our hubris.

02:19.440 --> 02:21.720
We've been able to say hey,
we need to do some training,

02:21.720 --> 02:24.150
we need to do some continued
work in order to make sure

02:24.150 --> 02:26.800
that we are fully prepared
to accomplish the mission.

02:28.114 --> 02:30.864
