00:00.040 --> 00:01.873
members of the Japan Ground Self

00:01.873 --> 00:04.040
Defense Force recently worked together

00:04.040 --> 00:06.300
with soldiers from US Army Japan and

00:06.300 --> 00:08.467
the U . S . Airman to conduct tactical

00:08.467 --> 00:10.870
combat casualty care training or TC

00:10.870 --> 00:13.020
three at Sagami General Depot Japan .

00:13.320 --> 00:15.431
The training was meant to enhance the

00:15.431 --> 00:17.264
soldier's ability to efficiently

00:17.264 --> 00:19.098
provide medical care in a combat

00:19.098 --> 00:20.987
environment and also to develop a

00:20.987 --> 00:23.153
better understanding among the U . S .

00:23.153 --> 00:25.209
Army , U . S . Air Force and the J .

00:25.209 --> 00:27.420
GsDf on how each service provides

00:27.420 --> 00:30.190
medical care . The J . GsDF members are

00:30.190 --> 00:32.630
currently attending the 101st iteration

00:32.630 --> 00:34.852
of a 10 week bilateral cooperative work

00:34.852 --> 00:37.480
programme class or co op for short at

00:37.480 --> 00:39.920
Camp Zama Japan . This is a mandatory

00:39.920 --> 00:42.040
training that we're doing . It's

00:42.040 --> 00:44.151
something that's gonna not only is it

00:44.151 --> 00:46.151
mandatory but it helps out soldiers

00:46.151 --> 00:48.207
right . We want to have at least one

00:48.207 --> 00:50.262
CLS personnel for every Squad is the

00:50.262 --> 00:52.318
minimum we're going for . But really

00:52.318 --> 00:54.484
the the US Army and DSS has asked that

00:54.484 --> 00:56.760
we do everybody TC three trained so

00:56.770 --> 00:58.826
everyone should have some form of TC

00:58.826 --> 01:00.826
through training . Whether it's all

01:00.826 --> 01:02.714
combatants CLS or up to my combat

01:02.714 --> 01:05.570
medics and paramedics . The training

01:05.570 --> 01:08.080
consisted of three distinct phases care

01:08.080 --> 01:11.060
under fire , tactical field care and

01:11.060 --> 01:14.050
tactical casualty evacuation care . The

01:14.050 --> 01:16.340
participants were tested in realistic

01:16.340 --> 01:19.180
simulated scenarios on the skills and

01:19.180 --> 01:21.347
techniques they learned over four days

01:21.347 --> 01:23.050
of instruction . Okay .

01:24.340 --> 01:26.620
It was great to be able to receive

01:26.620 --> 01:28.842
training from us army soldiers who have

01:28.842 --> 01:30.731
actual combat experience . I will

01:30.731 --> 01:32.842
definitely bring this experience back

01:32.842 --> 01:35.064
with me and share it with my unit . The

01:35.064 --> 01:37.287
most impressive moment was the pressure

01:37.287 --> 01:36.980
delivery device training in which they

01:36.980 --> 01:39.202
used a bottle to apply pressure to stop

01:39.202 --> 01:41.202
bleeding from the groin . It was my

01:41.202 --> 01:43.369
first time seeing that . So I was very

01:43.369 --> 01:45.920
impressed after participating in the TC

01:45.920 --> 01:48.031
three training . I got a sense of how

01:48.031 --> 01:50.530
kind the US Army soldiers were when I

01:50.530 --> 01:52.641
had a hard time understanding some of

01:52.641 --> 01:54.863
the medical terms in English . Everyone

01:54.863 --> 01:57.086
in the class tried to explain it and an

01:57.086 --> 01:59.141
easier way . I was also impressed by

01:59.141 --> 02:01.141
the energy of the female soldiers .

02:01.141 --> 02:03.520
They were very strong and I felt like I

02:03.520 --> 02:05.687
wanted to be like them in the future .

02:06.040 --> 02:09.290
Nearly 20 U . S . Army Air Force and J .

02:09.290 --> 02:11.510
Gsdf members participated in the

02:11.510 --> 02:14.580
training as a way to enhance us Japan

02:14.580 --> 02:16.560
bilateral relations and

02:16.570 --> 02:18.780
interoperability . Everyone is just so

02:18.780 --> 02:21.870
nice and ready to get hands on . They

02:21.880 --> 02:23.769
because we were working with some

02:23.769 --> 02:25.436
higher ups like I had a first

02:25.436 --> 02:27.547
lieutenant mass sergeant and sergeant

02:27.547 --> 02:27.520
first class and started major in my

02:27.520 --> 02:29.687
group but everyone was just so willing

02:29.687 --> 02:31.909
to be hands on and it's just a humbling

02:31.909 --> 02:33.576
experience . It was great . I

02:33.576 --> 02:36.360
appreciate it as the only Air Force

02:36.360 --> 02:38.780
person in the class . The biggest thing

02:38.780 --> 02:41.720
that I want to achieve was just proving

02:41.720 --> 02:43.720
to the other members that hey , you

02:43.720 --> 02:45.942
know , even though there's not a lot of

02:45.942 --> 02:48.053
Air Force people here were still part

02:48.053 --> 02:50.053
of the team and we're still able to

02:50.053 --> 02:52.276
participate and communicate and if they

02:52.276 --> 02:54.498
need us for anything like , hey , guess

02:54.498 --> 02:53.680
what ? We're gonna raise our hand and

02:53.680 --> 02:55.847
we're going to be part of the team and

02:55.847 --> 02:58.013
just do absolutely anything that needs

02:58.013 --> 03:00.236
to get done so you can count on us what

03:00.236 --> 03:02.458
I always tell my attention to take away

03:02.458 --> 03:04.680
is these are guidelines build to them .

03:04.680 --> 03:06.847
All right , I gave you a basis . Now I

03:06.847 --> 03:06.730
want you to go back to your individual

03:06.730 --> 03:08.897
units , find what works for you , find

03:08.897 --> 03:10.952
ways to make it better , find things

03:10.952 --> 03:12.786
that will , uh , you can educate

03:12.786 --> 03:14.674
yourself on and that you can keep

03:14.674 --> 03:16.790
learning . This is kevin crates are

03:16.800 --> 03:18.744
reporting for us , Army Garrison ,

03:18.744 --> 03:18.860
