This scenario trains combat medics to execute essential battlefield medicine through a digitally driven point-of-injury simulation. Set within a tactical combat zone, the learner steps into the role of a medic responding to a casualty under pressure—where speed, accuracy, and procedural fidelity determine outcomes.

The simulation begins with a computer-generated patient, presenting injuries that require the medic to make real-time assessments and treatment decisions using digital input. The platform simulates a progression of care—from airway management and hemorrhage control to reassessment and analgesia—mirroring the clinical logic and sequencing expected in live trauma care.

Unlike passive video training or mannequin-only scenarios, this approach demands active decision-making. It enables learners to refine critical thinking and procedural prioritization without requiring a full simulation lab setup. It’s especially effective for distance learning, just-in-time training, and reinforcing TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) protocols between field exercises.

Upon completing the virtual treatment flow, the learner is required to manually complete a DD Form 1380 (TCCC Card), ensuring that documentation practices are reinforced alongside clinical interventions. The final task is a radio or computer-transmitted MIST report—a concise summary of the casualty’s Mechanism of injury, Injuries, vital Signs, and Treatments—to a simulated flight medic.

This last step underscores the real-world importance of clear, timely communication across the chain of evacuation. It tests not only the medic’s clinical memory and articulation but also their ability to maintain composure and clarity under operational stress.

For simulation trainers, this scenario delivers high-impact outcomes with flexible delivery. It’s an efficient way to reinforce tactical assessment, documentation, and communication in the combat medic skillset—foundational competencies that can’t afford to degrade in any deployment cycle.
