QUEPOS, COSTA RICA - Twenty-two Costa Rican Guarda Costas attended a two-day workshop conducted by Sgt. 1st. Class David Muniz and Sgt. Michael Marfia, medics from New Mexico National Guard, as part of the National Guard Bureau's State Partnership Program. Muniz and Marfia shared their medical knowledge with the Coast Guardsmen on topics ranging from anatomy, triage, assessing breathing and consciousness, applying a tourniquet, splinting broken limbs, and responding to a mass casualty incident. This was the first medical subject matter expert exchange for a singular first responder group; typically there is a mix of coastguardsmen, police, border security and airport security personnel. The New Mexico National Guard and Costa Rica have been partners since 2006 and continue to share knowledge and techniques on a regular basis.
