U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 36th Medical Company Area Support, 261st Multifunctional Medical Battalion, 44th Medical Brigade, clean and debride the foot of a patient simulation mannequin at Fort Liberty, N.C. Nov. 03, 2023. These Soldiers are part of a group that is testing equipment that will potentially support the Prolonged Care Augmentation Detachment (PCAD). The PCAD is a medical team that provides prolonged care for up to 72 hours when evacuation is not possible. The goal of the PCAD is to treat patients as far forward on the battlefield as possible. Currently, the minimal team for the PCAD consists of four personnel: a physician assistant, a critical care nurse, a licensed practical nurse, and a combat medical specialist.
