Laghman Province: The “Mass Casualty,” alarm could be heard over loud speakers throughout Forward Operating Base Gamberi. Health care specialists at the troop medical clinic rushed to prepare for an influx of patients during a mass casualty exercise here, April 8..
The exercise simulated a rocket attack on FOB Gamberi. Victims of the attack, role-played by Soldiers, made sounds as if really wounded, as they were quickly taken to the TMC. Every “casualty” carried a card on them stating what type of injury they sustained. The medics prioritized the wounded, and depending on the injuries had to choose to provide first-aid in or outside the TMC. |
