FORT JACKSON, S.C. (Army News Service, Sept. 24, 2007) - The Army is
about to change the way it ensures Soldiers injured on the battlefield
receive access to life-saving techniques.
"Soldiers who were recently redeployed, and those who are currently
deployed, told us that the first 10 minutes are the most critical for
keeping a wounded Soldier alive," said Fort Jackson's Deputy Commander
Col. Kevin Shwedo.
Beginning Oct. 1, Soldiers entering Basic Combat Training will receive
Combat Lifesaving Training and be CLS certified before graduation. The
change adds seven-and-a-half hours to the current curriculum.
Soldiers will learn how to perform advanced first aid and conduct
potentially lifesaving procedures - from controlling bleeding,
conducting CPR and reintroducing fluids into the body - to keep a
serious injury from worsening until professional medical help arrives.
