U.S. Army Spc. Blake Welch (left), a practical nursing specialist assigned to the 30th Medical Brigade, 21st Theater Sustainment Command, treats a simulated casualty during the Sword 26 casualty staging unit exercise at Drawsko Combat Training Center, Poland, May 12, 2026. Training like this prepares Soldiers for large-scale combat operations, or LSCO, by rehearsing casualty care in a high-intensity operational environment.
Although NATO allied medical practitioners commonly use a CSU, the U.S. Army has not previously trained with the use of a CSU during medical missions. During Sword 26, 30th Med Bde is practicing this innovation to gain lessons learned during a simulated LSCO flight as well as enhance interoperability with NATO medical allies.
