Workouts
Main course:
Members are unit on patrol to the first objective (top of the hill) and start by carrying a 20# medic pack and two 20# ammo cans. Once you reach the objective (checkpoint #1) you make contact with hostile forces and are espected to perfom care under fire for a Casualty and most perform the needed steps/ drag the casualty to cover.
From there you will proceed on the course where you will put your casualty on a provided litter and proceed down the course towards the next obstacle where you will need to climb two barricades and lift your patient over the barricades to arrive at checkpoint #2. You will be asked questions as a team about Tactical Feild Care/ MARCH assesments. Once the questions have been answered you will proceed to the next checkpoint while carrying your casualty.
Prior to entering the warehouse for Checkpoint #3 you will perform 10 Over the head presses with your litter/casualty. Once the Buy in is complete you can proceed to the checkpoint in which the scenario is that there is a possible threat in the warehouse that needs to be cleared. You will be expected to leave a member behind to take care of your casualty while the rest of the team elimates the threat.
Once checkpoint #3 is complete you will proceed down the paved path to checkpoint #4 where team members will work together as teams of two to complete:
2 members perform 1 hose drag down and back
2 members perform a tire flip down and back
Each team of two swaps and perfoms the other task
Teams can then prepare for Evac and call a 9 Line with the provided MIST report (Checkpoint #4)
Teams then will proceed through the field to reach the helipad to complete checkpoint #5 in which the scenario is that you are in a contested environment and do not have air superiority and your patient has coded. Perform 2 rounds of BLS CPR.
Once completed your causualty has now completed Evac and your can sprint to the finish line!
