00:00.155 --> 00:03.822
(helicopter engine roaring)

00:07.314 --> 00:10.510
- We're five of the combat
medical ministry course,

00:10.510 --> 00:13.193
it's like perfect weather
for medevac Training.

00:14.320 --> 00:15.920
- In the event of a casualty,

00:15.920 --> 00:19.070
the chaplain is there
doing their best to assist,

00:19.070 --> 00:20.530
in a mass cal scenario, the chaplain

00:20.530 --> 00:22.523
will be helping with
triage and then helping

00:22.523 --> 00:26.250
to comfort soldiers that are wounded.

00:26.250 --> 00:28.123
So having the chaplains familiar

00:28.123 --> 00:30.440
with medevac procedures and loading

00:30.440 --> 00:32.240
and unloading and transporting patients

00:32.240 --> 00:33.290
is super crucial.

00:33.290 --> 00:34.520
- I'll do three on the team,

00:34.520 --> 00:35.660
watch the leader, right?

00:35.660 --> 00:37.590
- This is our culmination exercise.

00:37.590 --> 00:39.772
They'll start from the ground here,

00:39.772 --> 00:41.650
taking a patient,

00:41.650 --> 00:43.260
having to assess the patient

00:43.260 --> 00:44.630
package the patient,

00:44.630 --> 00:46.410
and then they'll practice patient handoff

00:46.410 --> 00:47.540
with the medic that'll come out

00:47.540 --> 00:48.453
of the helicopter.

00:50.240 --> 00:52.090
- You're putting your hands on the litter.

00:52.090 --> 00:55.580
You're feeling the weight of
a real person on that litter.

00:55.580 --> 00:58.120
And you're working as a
team to move that person.

00:58.120 --> 00:59.860
It's not only strenuous.

00:59.860 --> 01:02.410
It's also just a deeply
rewarding experience.

01:02.410 --> 01:04.333
It's truly a confidence building.

01:05.560 --> 01:07.580
- The ability for them
to stay with that person

01:07.580 --> 01:09.720
and help them through
what may be the worst day

01:09.720 --> 01:10.760
of their lives.

01:10.760 --> 01:13.140
From the moment they arrive

01:13.140 --> 01:14.700
to the medical treatment facility

01:14.700 --> 01:17.415
to the moment that they're
getting on the aircraft

01:17.415 --> 01:20.150
and being transferred to
the higher level of care

01:20.150 --> 01:22.123
is just absolutely essential.

01:22.123 --> 01:24.873
