Combat Life Saver Course students provide tactical combat casualty care on a simulated casualty during a mass casualty exercise here at the Jameson Combat Medic Training Center on March 4. Participation in the exercise was necessary to students in order to receive their CLS certification. The CLS course is a bridge between the self-aid/buddy-aid (first aid) training given to all Soldiers during basic training and the medical training given to an Army combat medic. CLS training is given to non-medical servicemembers providing them with life-saving skills. Once certified, combat lifesaver certified servicemembers are trained to provide immediate care, administer IV fluids to control shock, and perform needle chest decompression for a casualty with tension pneumothorax. A tension pneumothorax is a life-threatening condition that results from a progressive deterioration and worsening of a simple pneumothorax, collapsed lung.
