How Army Medics Are Trained To Save Lives In Combat | Boot Camp | Insider Business

We got an inside look at how Army combat medics are trained at Fort Sam Houston and Camp Bullis in San Antonio, Texas. About 5,000 soldiers graduate every year from the 16-week training program, which teaches soldiers to control bleeding, manage airways, and perform blood transfusions.
After 15 weeks of classroom instruction and hands-on training, trainees spend the final eight days treating patients in a simulated combat environment known as the field training exercise. Insider spent five days immersed in the course, where we observed different classes at various stages of training.

    I recognize a bunch of these trainees since I went to Basic Combat Training with them at Ft. Sill. For 68W training, I graduated 02AUG2022, and this was the class that graduated right after us. Congrats battle buddies. I’m also deploying overseas with my unit later this year. Also, this video mostly only covers the 8 day FTX (Field Training Exercise) right before you graduate. The entire 16 weeks is DEFINITELY not like this. If anyone has any questions, I’m happy to answer since I just went through it a few months ago. Army, Army Reserve, and Army National Guard all receive this same training.

    I like the part where the lead instructor says that so much of this job is muscle memory strikes a chord with me. I'm a new EMT, thinking about joining the Army as a Combat Medic reservist, and he's right that in stressful situations, you can't always remember the classroom information you were taught, but if you've practiced a certain skill so many times, like applying a tourniquet when you see bright red spurting blood, it's just muscle memory, and you can get through the moment. Super cool stuff!!! I look forward to doing this someday!

    So much has changed for the better since I graduated from Medic school in 2013. The evolution of this school over time is awesome to see. Many of the skills these new medics are learning were typically taught throughout a Soldier’s Army career over the course of years. The emphasis on prolonged field care is great to see and wasn’t a part of the training back when I went through. Blood products were barely taught or emphasized. The Army really cares about ways they can improve this course consistently and it shows.

    Best job I've ever had in my life. I miss being a medic and miss the soldiers I served with even more. The job is tough, no lie there, but it's also the most rewarding MOS in the military (I might be a bit bias though:). I would give it all up to relive my time as a medic. It's not the job itself that's the reward, although it is pretty damn awesome, it's the men and women with whom you serve alongs side of that make the job the best in the world. With these new medics and CLS-trained 11Bs coming up, I know the US will continue to field the best fighting force in the world.

    When I graduated from 68W AIT , downrange wasn't terrible. Training for deployment was hellahard. I'm lucky to get 2 hrs of sleep in the box during FTX as line medic with sapper unit. Same with working with Role 1 BAS for infantry unit probably 3 hrs of sleep at most. The only time I enjoyed my time working was being attached with ODA and just translating for them and helping out the SF Medic, 18D, with whatever he needs to win the "hearts and minds." Got a lot of sleep working with them and learning from the SF medic whenever we do medical treatment for locals and their animals. I never knew how well an SF medic trained until I saw them doing dentist and vet works for the locals I was at. He literally delivered a baby horse and removed wisdom teeth several times and I assisted him.. lol

    They are focussed on a very small subsection of possible injury and it only covers the first steps of the process, pretty much. And combat medics are just the EMT techs, pretty much, the Army still very much has doctors on hand that have a civilians training and then some (specializations in to specific forms of trauma etc). You leave out all the things you expect not to have time for, all the various injuries not caused by human violence, most if not all of the recovery. Combat medics prolong life and lay the foundations for an actual medical professional (who thanks to them does not need to put themselves under fire) to do the best work they can.

    From a UK paramedic perspective there's a big focus on other stuff apart from just the skills, legal aspects of medical care, anatomy and physiology, if you take just the practical stuff that I've learnt it would take about 16 weeks these guys just know how to fix problems not why they do these things

    @Pepper Roni not true at all. All medics are certified to EMT level at least, which includes anatomy and physiology training. Its hard to say the actual level of training for medics but its somewhere in between AEMT and Paramedic levels, however all medics are trained to Paramedic levels when it comes to trauma care, just not as versed in things like cardiology, diabetic care, and other common civillian conditions. We have to know why we do what we do otherwise we would not be able to take care of soldiers. You have to understand as well the acceleration of these courses, those 16 weeks are spent studying all day nearly everyday, or else it would be impossible to earn an EMT cert in 6 weeks (which is the first phase of training) while civillians normally take months

    @Pepper Roni should mention as well there are follow on paramedic courses for medics to take that last around 50ish weeks, but seeing as im not a paramedic i cant comment on that. For a little more persepctive, especially in recent years, a lot of the focus on our education now is prolonged casualty care seeing as in a near peer war we more than likely wont have a 1 hour evac window for most casualties anymore. For this we also learn basic nursing skills and more advanced things like chest tubes, intubations, fasciotomy's escarotomy's etc. Honestly what it boild down to is that combat medicine and civilian medicine are two pretty different things

Meanwhile we knew we would be in a hospital or a line unit. And what we would do is what we trained for. From sick call to prolonged casualty care. The main difference I saw was that we 68w walked around with 60lb or more of body armor, helmet and medical bag and our counterparts in the navy did not. Got questions about it from many a sailor.

    Every soldier is trained to be CLS certified to prevent as much deaths as possible. Medics will get into more depth to the wounds of the casualty. In a combat scenario, a soldier will assess the casualty and stop any amount of bleeding and pain, and will also focus on seeing if the casualty is still breathing. Casualty will be given to the medics for further care before sending the casualty to a civilian hospital. 9 lines (helicopter transportation), med-evacs (desiganed medical transportation), or CAS--evacs (non-designated medical transport) are always taught to us to know what kind of transportation is being received. Everything must be documented on papers we tend to be given. Locations of the wound, what we did to prevent anything from going further south, the time which we applied aid, what kind of damage the casualty has (gun shot wounds, IED, grenade, burns, ect.), the status of the casualty's comprehension, allergies and so on. We are taught repeatedly so that even if we ever come under fire, that we would know what to do even under a fire fight.

    Would be lucky to go to a battalion aid station. In my experience, you're either taken care of in the field, or medevaced/casevaced to a regional command aid station with a surgical unit on the way out of country after losing a limb or something.

    Class 0106 at Charlie Company, 232nd! Cobra Strong! Back in '06 we were barely learning Hextend and other blood volume expanders. TCCC was literally brand new to the 68W curriculum as I enlisted as a 91W and at Fort Benning during Basic they changed me to a 68W. Remember to preserve the fighting strength!

    The thought process is two-fold: 1) that when you are performing these procedures on your instructors, there is anxiety involved that can mimick the anxiety felt when having to perform medical procedures in active aggression scenarios. 2) while they do use practice dummies, they are inferior to the real deal even with all the high tech sensors and anatomy (like being able to bleed). Medics are trained on field during battlefield recreations. The injured are a mix of dummies and fellow soldiers. The military has 16 weeks to produce a soldier who is ready to be a high performance battlefield medic immediately. Instructors want to make sure their recruits are highly trained and often the only way to assess this accurately is to have the students perform certain procedures on them.

    Graduated from AIT 2 years ago back in March 2021. Great to see the people after you continuing to learn and pushing hard. EMT and Whiskey phase was definitely hard but very rewarding. I could say that there was definitely a lot of lows but there were a lot more highs. It really helped knowing that you could count on anyone there to help you out with anything. Learned a lot about the medical field and a lot about myself and what I was capable of, Still a proud 68W and I’m set to recertify next month! Hoping to become a drill sergeant to teach the next generation at Fort Sam Houston some day too!! Delta Dragons for life hooahh!! 🐉🫡
