Army Reserve Soldiers, Sgt. Johnson Orimoyegun from the 7250th Medical Support Unit, based in Alexandria, Va. and Spc. Alwasila Elbashir from the 7456th Medical Operations Readiness Unit, in Des Moines, Iowa plan the scheduling and deployment of simulated casualties to the training area during Global Medic at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Aug. 10, 2021. Global Medic is part of CSTX 78-21-04 which is a Combat Support Training Exercise that ensures Army Reserve units and Soldiers are trained and ready to deploy and bring capable, combat-ready, and ready-now units in support of the Army and our joint partners anywhere in the world. Part of Medical Readiness Training Command’s effects and enabler’s cell, the movement team is responsible for loading both live action role-players as well as simulated mannequin casualties onto field litter ambulances destined for the simulated battlefield of the CSTX. Throughout the 15-day exercise, the effects and enabler’s team will create detailed simulated combat casualties for hundreds of scenarios throughout the CSTX. These casualties are created to ensure military medical personnel are exposed to a wide variety of simulated casualties. They create wounds as serious as third-degree burns and open fractures to simulating the pallor of heat exhaustion or the symptoms of a simple cold. The team supports 24-hour operations throughout the exercise maintaining a near constant stream of simulated casualties to the CSTX. The Medical Readiness and Training Command executes Global Medic as part of the Army Reserve Medical Command's larger mission to provide trained, equipped, and combat ready units and medical personnel which are ready now to support the total force on the battlefields of today and tomorrow.
