00:02.730 --> 00:04.630
US army medical activity . Japan

00:04.639 --> 00:07.710
recently hosted bilateral TC three or

00:07.719 --> 00:10.369
tactical combat casualty care training .

00:10.569 --> 00:12.829
Participants included Japan ground self

00:12.840 --> 00:15.069
defense force members , airmen from the

00:15.079 --> 00:17.629
US Air Force's 374 th communications

00:17.639 --> 00:19.479
squadron and soldiers from the

00:19.489 --> 00:21.809
veterinary readiness activity in the 38

00:21.819 --> 00:23.986
th Air defense Artillery Brigade . Our

00:24.020 --> 00:26.719
primary purpose was building teamwork

00:26.729 --> 00:29.709
and interoperability um as well as kind

00:29.719 --> 00:31.608
of cross training and getting the

00:31.608 --> 00:33.663
chance to uh experience each other's

00:33.663 --> 00:35.830
CLS programs and how our medical teams

00:35.830 --> 00:37.663
work to kind of assist in future

00:37.663 --> 00:39.830
operations . The training began with a

00:39.830 --> 00:41.663
series of creative team building

00:41.663 --> 00:43.719
exercises . Members were placed into

00:43.719 --> 00:45.886
small groups and were tasked to create

00:45.886 --> 00:48.052
buildings with legos to figure out how

00:48.052 --> 00:50.163
to match English and Japanese medical

00:50.163 --> 00:52.330
phrases printed on cards and to follow

00:52.330 --> 00:54.108
a team leader's instructions to

00:54.108 --> 00:56.275
complete a tank commander exercise . I

00:56.275 --> 00:58.386
was definitely able to communicate my

00:58.386 --> 01:00.979
Japanese is terrible but but luckily ,

01:00.990 --> 01:03.830
their , their English skills were able

01:03.840 --> 01:06.589
to fill that gap and we were able to

01:06.599 --> 01:07.821
make the dream work .

01:16.870 --> 01:19.037
The TC three training was comprised of

01:19.037 --> 01:21.092
three distinct phases including care

01:21.092 --> 01:23.599
under fire , tactical field care and

01:23.610 --> 01:25.949
tactical casualty evacuation care .

01:26.160 --> 01:28.160
Participants also completed mission

01:28.160 --> 01:30.239
specific training including C Burney

01:30.250 --> 01:32.306
patient care . They also worked in a

01:32.306 --> 01:34.650
variety of positions on casualty teams

01:34.660 --> 01:36.604
to understand each individual team

01:36.604 --> 01:38.769
members role under numerous T three C

01:38.779 --> 01:39.550
scenarios .

01:53.120 --> 01:56.250
This experience was amazing . As I say ,

01:56.260 --> 01:58.500
as a mul multiple branches and and

01:58.510 --> 02:00.454
different forces right from , from

02:00.454 --> 02:02.343
different countries , we all came

02:02.343 --> 02:04.566
together uh uh to make this training uh

02:04.566 --> 02:06.732
or to attend to this training . And it

02:06.732 --> 02:08.954
was a great experience to be able to uh

02:08.954 --> 02:10.954
get knowledge from , from different

02:10.954 --> 02:12.843
aspects from different people and

02:12.843 --> 02:15.121
different backgrounds . That was great .

02:15.121 --> 02:17.343
On the last day of the field exercise ,

02:17.343 --> 02:17.119
participants performed the skills and

02:17.130 --> 02:19.241
techniques they had learned over four

02:19.241 --> 02:21.460
days of instruction . So it's to , I

02:21.649 --> 02:23.705
don't know , I don't give you . They

02:23.705 --> 02:27.630
are Tarika . O No ,

02:28.009 --> 02:32.000
no , they are to no naa in Tok , no

02:34.029 --> 02:35.029
toy

02:48.080 --> 02:51.100
casualty care . And the entire process

02:51.110 --> 02:55.035
from assessing a casualty to

02:55.044 --> 02:58.315
evacuating them to a care

02:58.324 --> 03:02.294
facility . I was unaware of all the

03:02.304 --> 03:06.065
little pieces that went into getting

03:06.074 --> 03:07.964
that process completed . So that

03:07.975 --> 03:10.074
definitely opened up my eyes and how

03:10.085 --> 03:13.929
hard um working in the medical

03:13.940 --> 03:16.162
field can be and how stressful it can .

03:16.162 --> 03:18.273
This was the first time the bilateral

03:18.273 --> 03:20.273
medical training was held in recent

03:20.273 --> 03:22.496
years for everyone that participated to

03:22.496 --> 03:24.607
include the cadre support . We really

03:24.607 --> 03:26.718
wanted to uh to test how well these ,

03:26.718 --> 03:28.662
these two forces were able to work

03:28.662 --> 03:30.662
together . And like we had army Air

03:30.662 --> 03:30.270
Force , Japanese ground self defense

03:30.279 --> 03:32.390
force , everyone comes from different

03:32.390 --> 03:34.501
background . We wanted to see that if

03:34.501 --> 03:36.723
it , if it really came down to it , how

03:36.723 --> 03:38.779
well , uh would they be able to form

03:38.779 --> 03:38.559
teams in a short amount of time and

03:38.570 --> 03:40.792
bridge their gaps in their training and

03:40.792 --> 03:43.014
their knowledge as well as the language

03:43.014 --> 03:45.181
barrier ? So , teamwork was a very big

03:45.181 --> 03:47.348
focus on what we did . Um And then any

03:47.348 --> 03:47.100
medical experience they got and or

03:47.110 --> 03:49.380
training was just a huge bonus for us .

03:49.389 --> 03:51.333
Army Garris in Japan . This is Tim

03:51.333 --> 03:51.720
Flack .
