    Command Sgt. Maj. Victor Laragione, U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence command sergeant major, asks Medal of Honor recipient Dakota Meyer about falling back on your most basic level of training during times of crisis, and how important it is to practice those basic skills. Meyer agreed, and said that the first aid training his unit corpsman conducted with the non-medical Marines in the unit, is what enabled him to provide aid to the wounded during the ambush of his unit in Kunar Province in 2009. "I must have put on 35 plus tourniquets that day," he said. Meyer spoke to students, cadre and leadership alike during his visit to MEDCoE on JBSA-Fort Sam Houston, Friday, 14 Mar.
