A day of classroom training is followed by a day with video game scenarios in which Soldiers are immersed as avatars in the Army's flagship gaming program, Virtual Battlespace 3, or VBS3, to conduct missions. Today's combat medic (68W) training uses similar devices in training and validation at the Army Medical Simulation Training Centers, but there are not enough training devices to reach every Soldier. Besides teaching the correct way to apply a tourniquet, the training device helps Soldiers learn how to properly treat other preventable causes of battlefield death by placing a chest decompression needle and opening an airway with a nasal tube. 'And that's exactly what a Soldier has to do on the battlefield, move past the horror, search for the bleeding and treat it,' he said.
They learn to apply tourniquets until the device's simulated bleeding stops.
