Narration:
Military working dog handlers from the 901st Military Police Detachment on Camp Zama and the Naval Air Facility Atsugi Security Department recently tested their knowledge on providing care for and evacuating their dog in case they get injured during a deployment.
The Camp Zama Veterinary Clinic hosted the training, known as K-9 Tactical Combat Casualty Care, or TC3.
Interview: SGT Madison Green, Animal Care Specialist, Camp Zama Veterinary Clinic
Narration:
During the training, each dog handler went through three stations. The first presented the scenario of their “dog”—a lifelike training dummy—being wounded in an explosive attack. The handlers had to provide proper medical treatment and prepare the dog for evacuation. Also at this station, the handlers were tested on applying a tourniquet and administering an IV drip.
The next station involved litter-carrying the dog safely to the final station: making a proper evacuation call in order to get a helicopter to the site.

Nearly a dozen Japanese veterinarians and nurses from local clinics were also at the training to observe and gain insight.

Seeing first-aid treatment like this in an outside environment like we did today is a very rare opportunity for us, so this was a great chance for us to learn.
