JBER Hospital hosts first K-9 combat medical training course

U.S. Air Force Tech. Sgt. Nigel Contaste, an independent duty medical technician assigned to the 962nd Airborne Air Control Squadron, and Tech. Sgt. Luis Baptista, an independent duty medical technician assigned to the 210th Rescue Squadron, participates in a mock dire K-9 rescue scenario at the medical training facility on Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Sept. 1, 2022. The 673d Medical Group held its first-ever Joint Tactical Combat Casualty Care-K-9 course geared toward exposing military emergency providers, doctors, and independent medical technicians to basic emergency medical care for military working dogs. Students of the course split into two groups during the hands-on portion of the course, which provided them with shock treatment and respiratory distress scenarios for training.
