 The US Army Sergeant David Popek, secures a simulated casualty on a sked basic rescue system during the expert field medical badge competition at the 7th Army Training Command's Graf and Vertraining Area, Germany. To qualify, soldiers must endure a multitude of events and tests, such as medical evacuations and treatments, land navigation, physical fitness and, chemical biological radioactive nuclear evaluations, which improves the armed service's ability to respond more effectively and efficiently, which increases readiness. US soldiers perform tasks to earn the expert field medical badge at the 7th Army Training Command's Graf and Vertraining Area, Germany. Soldiers are tested on multiple lanes, such as medical evacuations and treatments, land navigation, physical fitness and chemical biological radioactive nuclear evaluations to earn the badge, which improves the armed service's ability to respond more effectively and efficiently, which increases readiness. The two-person carry, the same I'm going to do, I'm going to go ahead and buckle these straps, because I have to do this. I didn't know if I could get just one of you guys to just put it like this really later on. I'm just going to put you back. Movie traps, obstacles and debris before, at, and beyond. I do not see that. Four person carry move. Post carry move. Two person carry move. Four person carry move. Sounds good. I'm in a remote system. So what I need you to do is I want you to mirror me, so take a rest, hold me like that. You can go ahead and take a seat and you can put your arms around your shoulders. Spread this leg open, please, and take a knee facing the direction of movement, please. And then you're going to grab behind his knees. Perfect. Go like that. Turn to lift. Lift. Check it out. We're going to be moving you from here down to the area where that sounds good. Perfect. Right here is his waist. And then you're going to mirror what I do. Last three weeks, obviously, has been confirming validation and going through training. And then this last week has been testing for our expert field medical batch. A lot of rain, a lot of cold, but just taking it day by day. Today, we went through the Tactical Combat Casualty Care lane. It's about an hour and 45 minutes where it is essentially treating three casualties going through the... The US Army Staff Sergeant Zacharia Lim, a 68-wing assigned to Vicenza Medical Clinic, performs first aid on a simulated casualty, at the Tactical Combat Casualty Care Lane during the expert field medical badge competition, at the 7th Army Training Commands, Graf and Vertraining Area, Germany. Soldiers are tested on multiple lanes such as medical evacuations and treatments, land navigation, physical fitness and chemical biological radioactive nuclear evaluations to earn the badge, which improves the armed services ability to respond more effectively and efficiently, which increases readiness. I'm 68 whiskey, so our bread and butter is triage. We're triaging these patients, but we're also treating them by life-threatening injuries. So if somebody has massive hemorrhaging sitting over there, I don't want to be working on this guy's broken arm. I want to make sure that nobody's going to die from massive hemorrhaging first. Slowly release his hasty tourniquet, looking for any bright red bleeding to return, and then I'm going to make sure that everybody has a good airway and everyone can breathe. March down, inspect and decap your last tick. All right, palpating there. Still looking for equal rise and fall of the chest, assessing him for progressive respiratory distress. All right. After that, start getting into the little subtle things, the medications. Look at the Kool-Aid, flushing and those syringe, hypothermia, and also what you saw today had the evisceration. All right, I wasn't terribly concerned about that initially, but eventually you've got to treat that as well. Last year, I didn't feel overly confident going into TC3. This year, hop back into it between last year's training and then them going through it. This year, I felt very confident in my ability to perform.
