Phelps said the events he participated in provided insight into the skills necessary to earn the Expert Field Medical Badge, which he called the gold standard of achievement for service members in the medical field. “This exercise put some of us in situations that we haven’t seen since basic training and it brought back our ‘Soldier First’ mentality." “The Forge helped to build relationships, trust in others and confidence in self by providing training on necessary Soldier tasks,” he said. Jacob Phelps, licensed practical nurse in the mixed medical surgical ward, said his first experience in the Army was with a field unit. “It is critical in today’s modern warfare that we are proficient in our basic soldiering skills.” “The Department of the Army requires enlisted personnel and officers to be Soldiers first and foremost,” he said. “We practiced evaluating and evacuating casualties, reacting to enemy fire and requesting medical evacuation.”Įvbuomwan said during the exercise they completed night and day land navigation courses and conducted chemical, biological, radiological and nuclear training. “The training was designed to assess our warrior tasks,” he said. Rayson Evbuomwan, chief of the patient administration division, said every Soldier assigned to the hospital participated. “Just as line units go to the field for periods of time to conduct training away from garrison activities, we conducted our training after hours and on Saturday without impacting our responsibilities to our BJACH beneficiaries.”
“If a medic, doctor, nurse or any other medical professional cannot first survive on the battlefield performing basic Soldier tasks they will not be able to provide the definitive medical care needed to support the war fighter,” he said. This will be a biannual event for military medical Soldiers assigned to the hospital. Aristotle Vaseliades, BJACH Commander, said the motto at JRTC is: Forging the Warrior Spirit making Forge a fitting name for the inaugural field training exercise that was recently conducted. The training was designed to optimize readiness by testing Soldiers on their warrior tasks and battle drills.Ĭol.
