    Two U.S. Army soldiers in ACU (Army Combat Uniform) camouflage are attending to a third soldier lying on the ground in a grassy field near a road. The standing soldier on the right is equipped with a radio antenna and appears to be communicating, while the soldier on the left is kneeling and providing assistance to the downed soldier. This appears to be a combat casualty care training exercise or field operation.

    These Soldiers from 3rd Platoon, Company B, 2nd Battalion 502nd Infantry Regiment, 2nd Brigade Combat Team, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), are calling in a 9-Line Medical Evacuation request while dressed with advanced equipment to make training as realistic as possible, Aug. 5. The platoon is using combat training gear called Digital Infrared Timing Simulator, better known as DITS. This newest form of non-lethal, force-on-force training equipment uses lasers and blank cartridges to simulate actual battle. DITS puts authentic-like casualty into play while training.
