US , army and multinational combat

00:08.119 --> 00:10.175
medics stationed around the European

00:10.175 --> 00:12.286
theater recently competed in tactical

00:12.286 --> 00:14.230
combat casualty care or TC . Three

00:14.230 --> 00:16.452
challenges during the Europe best medic

00:16.452 --> 00:18.341
competition or ABC in Landstuhl ,

00:18.341 --> 00:20.175
Germany participants completed a

00:20.175 --> 00:22.119
strenuous litter obstacle course ,

00:22.119 --> 00:24.286
treating simulated casualties using TC

00:24.286 --> 00:26.230
three methods under simulated fire

00:26.230 --> 00:28.230
before evacuating to safety . So TC

00:28.230 --> 00:30.286
three is so important . It's because

00:30.286 --> 00:32.452
it's been proven . I mean , we've seen

00:32.452 --> 00:34.397
it in the last war that we had . I

00:34.397 --> 00:37.110
think that with whatever comes next , I

00:37.119 --> 00:39.230
think it is time tested . We continue

00:39.230 --> 00:41.230
to refine it every single year they

00:41.230 --> 00:43.230
meet and they talk about how we can

00:43.230 --> 00:45.175
make it better . The EBC tests the

00:45.175 --> 00:47.286
physical fitness , medical skills and

00:47.286 --> 00:49.341
readiness of European theater medics

00:49.341 --> 00:51.341
across a broad spectrum of critical

00:51.341 --> 00:53.230
team and individual skills during

00:53.230 --> 00:55.175
combat operations . Reporting from
