Trauma Training in Mosul

Our primary mission here in support of OIF is to prepared for the worst that our soldiers may face. To prepare for that unfortunate occurrence we regularly run through drills to make sure we are ready. The EMT (Emergency Room) takes the biggest hit as the most critical will be sent there.




Once patients go through surgery or have been through some sort of stabilization procedure they come to us in the ICU and/or ICW (Intermediate Care Ward). One aspect of this make it a little more realistic for us as Doctors and Nurses is being able to use fellow soldiers as patients. While mannequins are great, nothing compares to a live body.
