European competition is a unique event
in itself . It is a large scale medical
competition that Europe probably hasn't
seen in recent memory . It sees the
entire medical enterprise come together
as one team . It doesn't matter if
you're from the States . If you're from
Europe or a multinational partner ,
we're all here as one team , we get to
learn from each other . We get to work
together , see how each other are doing
things while building that relationship
means a lot to us . Why ? Because we
are challenged , we like being
challenged and we can compete for us
with the best in Europe , even with the
best in the world , I think . And um I
think all in all , it's not about the
winner at the end , but we can learn so
much from each other . So we're always
looking forward to such competitions .
Best medic increases our readiness by
one , giving the people out here
competing the skills to hone their
skills and become better medics and
better tacticians . It gives training
resources and education to the people
that are running and managing the
competition and it encourages everybody
to get out there and push themselves
once our nation calls on us . That
means if a part of the nation asks for
help and we hit the battlefield . We
looked to the left and we looked to the
right . It doesn't matter if it's a
different medical organization from the
US army , it doesn't matter if it's a
different country . We've already built
those relationships . We've already
worked together . We're able to execute
our medical mission flawlessly and even
standing in here in the extreme weather
that we're in right now shows that we
can execute that medical mission in any
environment that we're placed in .
That's army medicine .
