    Military medical personnel in combat uniforms are conducting what appears to be a medical training exercise inside a field hospital tent. Multiple soldiers wearing blue latex gloves are working on a medical training mannequin/simulator that is dressed in torn military clothing with simulated wounds. The setting includes IV bags, medical equipment, and a numbered station marker consistent with a triage or combat casualty care training environment.

    Army Reserve Soldiers, assigned to the 256th Combat Support Hospital, Twinsburg, Ohio, triage a mock trauma patient ambushed in an attack during Combat Support Training Exercise 86-17-02 at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, from August 5 – 25, 2017. Thousands of Army Reserve Soldiers joined service members from different service branches to train in a large-scale exercise focused on multi-echelon and multi-functional, realistic, tactical training to challenge and improve the proficiency of leader and collective tasks. One of the key focuses of the CSTX was to return to, and understand basic Soldier skills. The exercise moved Soldiers away from the sustainment lifestyle in forward operating bases, and Soldiers worked and lived in a more austere environment. Command Sgt. Maj. Ted Copeland, Command Sergeant Major, U.S. Army Reserve explained that moving Soldiers out of FOBs will develop them to become more mobile and agile and that it is necessary for survivability.
