Video: Combat Medic Course – Afghan National Security Forces
For the past eight weeks, Afghan National Security Forces students from the Combat Medic Course at Joint Sustainment Academy Southwest at Camp Leatherneck have learned the essential skills to become a field medic. The students recently put their skills to the test in a final field training exercise. During the exercise, the Afghan students were on a foot patrol when they encountered mock fire, injuring one of their fellow classmates. While performing life saving measures on the victim, there was a simulated improvised explosive device blast, injuring many civilians. The students had to quickly set up security and treat the victims before calling in for medical evacuation.
