Simulated wounds for training Army medics.

All photos are of SIMULATED wounds.

In this exercise members of the Australian Army Cadet Corps are helping in the training of Army medics. They are made up with VERY REALISTIC simulated wounds of all types, coached in how to act as if they were REALLY wounded and then transported to the place that the forward medical teams are working.
As can be seen the Army goes to considerable trouble to making training as realistic as possible.

These wounds are SIMULATED to represent the effect of the explosion of a gas cooker, not battlefield wounds.
As well as training with simulated wounds, soldiers of the RAAMC work with Ambulance Services all over Australia to get experience with real trauma working in real time.

This Digger is "wounded" during Exercise Hydra Despise at Battle Wing at Canungra's Land Warfare Centre (formally Jungle Warfare Training Centre). Training is as realistic as it is possible to be. Infantry Section commanders are really put to the test.
