 Ten service members deployed to camp Leatherneck underwent combat lifesaver training from August 8th through the 10th. While the Marine Corps has traditionally relied on its Navy corpsman for field medical treatment, the last decade of conflict has revealed a need for more troops than just the corpsman to receive medical training. The CLS course is a combat lifesavers course, so you learn to treat and prevent a number of casualties that you may encounter on the battlefield. Members of each branch of service took part in the course and were required to pass both a written test and practical examination before becoming certified. It makes me very comfortable knowing that if I go down, I have a fellow Marine there to help me out and help save my life. Corpsman aboard Camp Leatherneck plan to hold more CLS courses in the future. Reporting from Camp Leatherneck, Afghanistan, I'm Corporal Catherine Kelleher.
