Recently, 11 combat medics from First Army Division East underwent four days of in-depth train-the-trainer-type training on the Laerdal SimMan® patient simulator at the Regional Training Site-Medical located at Fort Gordon, Ga. Upon returning to their mobilization training sites, these medics will then use their knowledge and experience to train medics prior to their deployments. Unlike active duty Soldiers who work and train daily in their chosen career field, Reserve component service members only have approximately 39 days a year to achieve the same level of proficiency prior to mobilization which makes simulation training a beneficial tool.
