Medical Readiness and Training Command

U.S. Army Reserve Soldiers, Staff Sgt. Keith Iris Jr. from the 7305th Medical Training Support Battalion based in Sacramento, Calif., and Maj. Jairo Henao from the 7454th Medical Operations Readiness Unit based in Des Moines, Iowa assemble a cut-suit used to train military medical personnel during Global Medic in Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Aug. 10th, 2021. The cut suit is an anatomically correct training aid worn by a live-action role player simulating a real-world combat casualty that is made of a special synthetic material that military medical personnel can actually “cut” while conducting simulated surgeries. The suit requires trained personnel from the Medical Readiness Training Command’s effects and enabler’s cell to assemble and “manage” the suit and its live-action role player.

Throughout the 15-day exercise, the effects and enabler’s team will create detailed simulated combat casualties for hundreds of scenarios throughout the CSTX to ensure military medical personnel are exposed to a wide variety of simulated casualties such as third-degree burns, open fractures, heat exhaustion or the symptoms of a simple cold. The team supports 24-hour operations throughout the exercise maintaining a near constant stream of simulated casualties to the CSTX.

The Medical Readiness and Training Command executes Global Medic as part of the Army Reserve Medical Command's larger mission to provide trained, equipped, and combat ready units and medical personnel which are ready now to support the total force on the battlefields of today and tomorrow.
