WEBVTT

00:00.009 --> 00:02.231
Uh So the , your best medic competition

00:02.231 --> 00:05.929
um is a , a way

00:05.940 --> 00:08.430
for medics and other 68 series to

00:08.439 --> 00:10.819
compete uh to earn the right to compete

00:10.829 --> 00:12.551
at the army , best medic while

00:12.551 --> 00:14.829
stationed overseas uh in Europe . So

00:14.840 --> 00:17.750
it's a lot of physical events . Um The

00:17.760 --> 00:19.871
medical events are kicking off really

00:19.871 --> 00:21.927
hard today . Uh So , you know , it's

00:21.927 --> 00:24.260
part of that individual professionalism ,

00:24.260 --> 00:26.371
your ability to like know your job uh

00:26.809 --> 00:29.190
while also inducing like physical and

00:29.200 --> 00:31.540
mental stress , right ? So we've got a

00:31.549 --> 00:33.771
little bit of lack of sleep , done some

00:33.771 --> 00:35.771
physical hard stuff . Uh So I think

00:35.771 --> 00:37.938
it's testing you and your ability to ,

00:37.938 --> 00:40.160
to maintain your composure and continue

00:40.160 --> 00:42.382
to do your job even when you're tired .

00:42.382 --> 00:44.438
So we did the little obstacle course

00:44.438 --> 00:46.382
with TC three mixed in . Uh It was

00:46.729 --> 00:48.900
designed to move your casualty through

00:48.909 --> 00:51.080
a lane uh with specific obstacles and

00:51.090 --> 00:53.257
then treat your casualty at a specific

00:53.257 --> 00:55.423
point and then e back your casualty to

00:55.423 --> 00:57.646
uh unknown distance to get him off . Uh

00:57.646 --> 00:59.701
And out T three is tactical casualty

00:59.701 --> 01:01.868
care . Uh It's basically what the army

01:01.868 --> 01:03.979
adopted from range battalion to treat

01:03.979 --> 01:06.090
casualties utilizing a uh metronome .

01:06.090 --> 01:08.257
So you remember how to stay in order .

01:08.257 --> 01:10.479
Um And it's been proven effective since

01:10.480 --> 01:12.959
2000 whenever it was implemented . Um

01:13.900 --> 01:16.680
Super what all combat medics learn . Uh

01:16.690 --> 01:18.912
And then for EFMB , it's also what they

01:18.912 --> 01:21.134
utilized to tr , to train and teach the

01:21.134 --> 01:23.468
T three lanes as well . Uh So it's just ,

01:23.468 --> 01:25.523
just a way to treat your casualty um

01:25.523 --> 01:27.746
whenever they have poly trauma and then

01:27.746 --> 01:29.968
in , in specific settings , so TC three

01:29.968 --> 01:31.968
is so important . It's because it's

01:31.968 --> 01:34.023
been proven . Uh , I mean , you've ,

01:34.023 --> 01:36.134
we've seen it in the last war that we

01:36.134 --> 01:38.301
had . Uh , I , I think that with the ,

01:38.301 --> 01:40.523
with whatever comes next , uh , I think

01:40.523 --> 01:42.690
it is , it's time tested and it's been

01:42.690 --> 01:44.468
on the battlefield , it's shown

01:44.468 --> 01:46.634
effective . Um , you know , it's not ,

01:46.634 --> 01:48.912
I don't wanna say , don't break what's ,

01:48.912 --> 01:51.023
don't , don't fix what's not broken ,

01:51.023 --> 01:50.379
right . But it's one of those things

01:50.389 --> 01:52.556
that we've , we've tested it again and

01:52.556 --> 01:54.778
again and again , we continue to refine

01:54.778 --> 01:56.889
it . Um , every single year they meet

01:56.889 --> 01:59.000
and they , they talk about how we can

01:59.000 --> 02:01.000
make it better . Uh , I , it's just

02:01.000 --> 02:00.720
something , it's a product that's

02:00.730 --> 02:02.841
already really great and we're making

02:02.841 --> 02:04.841
it better every so I think that the

02:04.841 --> 02:06.841
branch is adopting it is , couldn't

02:06.841 --> 02:09.008
have come sooner honestly . So I think

02:09.008 --> 02:11.063
any kind of competition is extremely

02:11.063 --> 02:13.119
important , right . So , competition

02:13.119 --> 02:15.174
breeds excellence . Uh , and I think

02:15.174 --> 02:14.929
that where we're at in the army now ,

02:15.119 --> 02:17.399
the ability to go out , uh , and test

02:17.410 --> 02:20.289
ourselves against our , our fellow , um ,

02:20.720 --> 02:23.059
soldiers in arms . I is paramount .

02:23.070 --> 02:25.237
Right , because we don't know when the

02:25.237 --> 02:27.403
next war is gonna happen . Uh , all we

02:27.403 --> 02:29.570
know is that we need to be ready . And

02:29.570 --> 02:29.250
I think that the competitive nature

02:29.259 --> 02:31.370
that we're building , whether it's at

02:31.370 --> 02:33.592
EB MC or at A B MC , uh , or even , you

02:33.592 --> 02:35.592
know , best range or the other uh ,

02:35.592 --> 02:37.815
competitions are out there . Uh I think

02:37.815 --> 02:39.981
that the ability to stay ready and the

02:39.981 --> 02:42.037
ability to um compete is , is what's

02:42.037 --> 02:43.981
going to ultimately keep us in the

02:43.981 --> 02:46.037
fighting force as fit as possible as

02:46.037 --> 02:47.870
fast as possible and give us the

02:47.870 --> 02:50.092
capabilities and the , and the tools to

02:50.092 --> 02:50.050
move and destroy the enemy because

02:50.059 --> 02:52.226
that's really what we're here for . So

02:52.226 --> 02:54.281
I think that that's like why it's so

02:54.281 --> 02:54.220
important is like we're testing our

02:54.229 --> 02:56.451
metal against each other and you know ,

02:56.451 --> 02:58.618
what is the , what's the saying ? Iron

02:58.618 --> 03:00.507
sharpens iron , right ? So that ,

03:00.507 --> 03:02.562
that's , that's what we're doing . I

03:02.562 --> 03:04.618
always say that the condom Metics is

03:04.618 --> 03:04.220
sustainer of the battlefield . Uh

03:04.229 --> 03:06.289
They're the ones who keep the , keep

03:06.300 --> 03:09.169
the fighting force in the fight . Um

03:09.179 --> 03:11.410
And then they also are the ones moving

03:11.419 --> 03:13.475
forward to contact , right ? So they

03:13.475 --> 03:15.586
kind of have a two part role . It's ,

03:15.586 --> 03:18.449
you are a rifleman as a line medic uh

03:18.460 --> 03:20.516
until it's time to do your job . And

03:20.516 --> 03:22.627
then that's when your specialty takes

03:22.627 --> 03:22.330
over
