Why Simulated Training Exercises Matter
U.S. Army Soldiers from the 932nd Forward Resuscitative Surgical Detachment (FRSD) perform a simulated wound assessment on a patient as the first step in developing a comprehensive plan of care during a Collective Training Exercise (CTE) at Fort Cavazos, Texas, Oct. 21, 2024. CTEs are instruction and applied exercises that prepare an organizational team such as a squad, aircrew, battalion, or multi-service task force to accomplish required military tasks as a unit. These CTEs reinforce their skill sets to bolster Army medical capabilities and ensure Soldier proficiencies with life-saving measures. (U.S. Army Reserve photo by Sgt. Veronica Van Doran)
