Training is a part of life for many individuals who perform the nation’s most essential national security and defense jobs. Whether they’re called drills, exercises, or any other name, training events are critical for ensuring everyone knows what to do and how to respond when emergencies arise. In some other

A serious battlefield injury, isolated from medical help and safety, becomes an urgent race against time—one that begins the moment the injury occurs, not when medical personnel arrive.  In those critical moments, several actions must be taken before medical aid can be provided.
