FORT BELVOIR, Va. (April 1, 2026) -- The A.T. Augusta Military Medical Center (ATAMMC) proudly reports the successful completion of the Individual Critical Task Lists (ICTL) training, reinforcing its commitment to maintaining core medical skill sets and enhancing readiness for Army nursing professionals. Hosted by the Nursing Education and Simulation Training (NEST) Program in collaboration with the Simulation Center, this essential training took place from March 24–26, 2026, benefiting 37 Army nurses from the 66H (Medical-Surgical Nurses) and 68C (Practical Nursing Specialists) specialties.
Over three intensive days within the Simulation Center, participants collectively completed 16 critical clinical skills designed to enhance both confidence and competence in operational environments. The ICTL training is vital for ensuring Army nurses are fully prepared to meet the demands of deployment. Through hands-on, scenario-based simulations, nurses were immersed in realistic field conditions, reinforcing their ability to deliver high-quality care in high-pressure and austere environments.
Maj. Jacob Sliter, 7 North Clinical Nursing Officer in Charge, emphasized the significance of this training, stating, “ICTL sustainment training allows our Army nurses to be ready for any critical mission at a moment’s notice, as evident by past experiences.” Dr. Sheron Y. Campbell, NEST Program Manager, added, “The importance of this training ensures they are prepared to provide compassionate, competent care to our sons and daughters.”
The training focused on two primary objectives: evaluating nursing deployment readiness and preparing Army nurses for real-world mission requirements. By simulating battlefield injuries and operational scenarios, the program equips medical personnel with the skills necessary to manage complex trauma and support warfighter recovery, whether returning to duty or transitioning home.
Key leaders supporting the training included Dr. Campbell and Maj. Mariel O. Menges, Department Chief of the Simulation Center. Their leadership facilitated a comprehensive and impactful training experience for all participants. The success of the initiative was further bolstered by the critical contributions of Spec. Jason Walter, Staff Practical Nurse, who assisted in creating a field hospital environment, adding a high level of realism to the training exercise.
Through initiatives like the ICTL sustainment training, ATAMMC continues to reinforce its unwavering commitment to military readiness. By ensuring that Army nursing professionals remain equipped, confident, and mission-ready, ATAMMC stands ready to care for America’s warfighters whenever and wherever they are needed.
