"It definitely instills muscle memory into our medics because it's not a lot of times that they get to do it every day if they're not working at a hospital. We have people here in the reserves that are in nursing school so they're not doing their skills everyday. So this definitely helps them get prepared when they do go down range."

"As a combat medic they are required to keep 72 hours so what we do is provide information for skills to go back and make sure they're all familiar. How you react in a deployed setting, how you treat and how you triage your soldiers. So we just want to keep that fresh in our soldiers' mind because the requirement is every two years. You do lose base, so we just give them the basic knowledge to get them back where they need to be."
VO CONT:
The training includes taking care of patients, prolonged care and triaging patients.
