    A U.S. Army soldier in MultiCam/OCP camouflage uniform is performing a needle decompression procedure on a medical training mannequin. The soldier is inserting a large-bore needle (appearing to be a 14-gauge catheter with orange hub) into the chest of the torso simulator, consistent with tension pneumothorax treatment training. Medical tape/roll is visible in the background, indicating a tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) training scenario.

    Army Sgt. Spencer Robinson, a combat medic specialist assigned to the 1st Battalion, 501st Parachute Infantry Regiment, 4th Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 25th Infantry Regiment, U.S. Army Alaska, performs a needle decompression on a simulated combat casualty during annual recertification at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 17, 2019. The medics utilized the Tactical Combat Casualty Care Exportable (TC3X) kit to maintain their skills and proficiency. The TC3X is a state of the art mannequin that mimics various traumatic scenarios, simulates human pulmonary and respiratory functions/distress, and augments realistic training by screaming, breathing, bleeding, moving, physiologically responding to treatments rendered and providing feedback data via recording sensors. Robinson is a native of Orem, Utah. (U.S. Air Force photo by Alejandro Peña)
