VNG medics train combat casualty care with UVA Army ROTC cadets - Oct. 20, 2020

Virginia National Guard Soldiers conduct training on basic combat casualty care with University of Virginia Army Reserve Officer Training Corps cadets Oct. 20, 2020, in Charlottesville, Virginia. Military paramedics assigned to the Sandston-based Detachment 2, Charlie Company, 1st Battalion, 169th Aviation Regiment and the Charlottesville-based Charlie Company, 429th Brigade Support Battalion, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team conducted hands-on training with the cadets that included the use of the Tactical Combat Casualty Care Exportable, or TC3X, system. The TC3X system is a computer-controlled mannequin that can move, bleed, breath and simulate a multitude of combat wounds, giving the user a realistic wound care experience. The training is part of an ongoing partnership between the VNG and Army ROTC programs.
