00:04.640 --> 00:05.150
mm .

00:09.840 --> 00:11.784
En route care is all about patient

00:11.784 --> 00:14.250
movement . And uh with the green side

00:14.250 --> 00:16.472
of it , we're actually working on birds

00:16.472 --> 00:18.361
of opportunity and any other lift

00:18.361 --> 00:20.528
opportunities to move a patient out of

00:20.528 --> 00:22.361
a dangerous zone and to a higher

00:22.361 --> 00:24.590
echelon of care . So we can be on any

00:24.590 --> 00:26.760
kind of platform . So we train on 20

00:26.760 --> 00:30.640
two's , 50 three's Huey's , any kind of

00:30.640 --> 00:34.080
ground transport 9977 tons . And uh the

00:34.080 --> 00:36.500
hope is too soon move to the water um

00:36.510 --> 00:38.399
to better suit the mission that's

00:38.399 --> 00:39.510
coming towards us .

00:49.240 --> 00:52.710
Yeah . So I am the program manager for

00:52.710 --> 00:54.766
the En route care team here at first

00:54.766 --> 00:56.932
medical Battalion . And my main job is

00:56.932 --> 00:59.043
to make sure that the main route care

00:59.043 --> 01:00.877
teams that we're sending out are

01:00.877 --> 01:02.932
trained to the highest level that we

01:02.932 --> 01:05.043
can get them to . Um so that they can

01:05.043 --> 01:07.210
better fit the mission and our keeping

01:07.210 --> 01:09.377
up and sustaining those skills that we

01:09.377 --> 01:11.599
send them to school for . So unlike the

01:11.599 --> 01:13.710
army with dust off that has dedicated

01:13.710 --> 01:15.932
medevac capabilities , We do not have a

01:15.932 --> 01:18.266
dedicated medevac within the green side .

01:18.266 --> 01:20.266
So what we work on is CAS EVAC , so

01:20.266 --> 01:20.230
it's whatever it can move , we'll hop

01:20.230 --> 01:23.120
on it and take a patient . Somewhere

01:23.650 --> 01:26.900
in the beginning of all these wars in

01:26.910 --> 01:30.110
centcom is dust off . Those dedicated

01:30.110 --> 01:31.999
medevac capabilities were getting

01:31.999 --> 01:34.166
overwhelmed and so we started throwing

01:34.166 --> 01:36.221
nurses on and comment on that didn't

01:36.221 --> 01:39.120
have any in route care training and um

01:39.130 --> 01:41.352
they were doing the best they could and

01:41.352 --> 01:43.519
taking care of those patients , but it

01:43.519 --> 01:45.574
would have been a lot less stressful

01:45.574 --> 01:47.797
and and better patient outcomes if they

01:47.797 --> 01:47.640
would have had more training in this ,

01:47.650 --> 01:50.150
prior to deployment here at first

01:50.150 --> 01:52.094
Medical Battalion , we do have the

01:52.094 --> 01:54.150
advantage of being so close with the

01:54.150 --> 01:56.261
wing and we get a lot of support with

01:56.261 --> 01:58.372
that which we appreciate . So I think

01:58.372 --> 02:00.483
that all the support that we get from

02:00.483 --> 02:03.660
the entire meth , um at large , it's

02:03.660 --> 02:05.771
huge for us to be able to keep up the

02:05.771 --> 02:07.827
sustainment and make sure that we're

02:07.827 --> 02:09.604
providing the best patient care

02:09.604 --> 02:12.550
possible and

02:14.440 --> 02:14.600
yeah .
