00:01.340 --> 00:03.507
Yeah , make sure you grab underneath .

00:04.880 --> 00:06.713
And , yeah , please be careful .

00:14.319 --> 00:16.541
Every year a medic radio takes place at

00:16.541 --> 00:18.597
Canon Air Force Base in New Mexico ,

00:18.597 --> 00:20.597
and we wanted to do something local

00:20.597 --> 00:22.819
here as well that challenges our medics

00:22.819 --> 00:22.000
with all the skills that they've

00:22.000 --> 00:23.889
learned throughout their years of

00:23.889 --> 00:26.111
training here . We developed a training

00:26.111 --> 00:28.000
plan that includes many different

00:28.000 --> 00:30.222
physical and knowledge-based aspects to

00:30.222 --> 00:32.333
the training , so we have things like

00:32.333 --> 00:34.630
litter carries , drags and carries . We

00:34.630 --> 00:37.459
have wound packing , care under fire ,

00:37.709 --> 00:41.470
improvised care . Many different

00:41.470 --> 00:43.692
challenges that puts their knowledge to

00:43.692 --> 00:47.669
the test . This competition strengthens

00:47.669 --> 00:49.613
readiness and teamwork amongst the

00:49.613 --> 00:52.669
medical group by getting all different

00:52.669 --> 00:55.779
disaster teams together and utilizing

00:55.779 --> 00:58.790
our skills that are very diverse with

00:58.790 --> 01:02.639
each other . Typically

01:02.639 --> 01:05.010
we train with our own teams that have

01:05.010 --> 01:07.050
the same training , but this is a

01:07.050 --> 01:09.050
chance for us to be with people who

01:09.050 --> 01:11.161
don't have the exact same training as

01:11.161 --> 01:13.383
us and to see it all come together like

01:13.383 --> 01:14.290
we would in a deployed location .
