926th Group public affairs
4/24/2014 - CAVITE, REPUBLIC OF PHILIPPINES -- Members
from the 926th Aerospace Medicine Squadron helped teach the Armed
Forces of the Philippines life-saving measures here March 19 through
April 2.
The six-person team joined forces with the Medical Detachment of the
Guam Army National Guard and the 624th Aeromedical Staging Squadron from
Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam, Hawaii, to instruct the Medical First
Responder Course as part of a subject matter expert exchange under the
State Partnership Program of the National Guard.
The MFRC was only the third combat casualty care course instructed for
the AFP, and the first to include AFP instructor students as part of the
cadre. The 53 students received training on convoy operations, tactical
combat casualty care and medical evacuation, among many other skills.
The purpose behind the courses is to develop an internally-sustainable
combat casualty care operational capability and training program within
the AFP.
