Bayonet's Lifeline

The of the 173rd Brigade Support Battalion have just completed some intense training at the Osoppo training area in Udine, Italy on April 13, 2023. These highly trained Paratroopers secured an objective, established a CCP, called for medevac, and evacuated their casualty to a Role 2, showcasing their exceptional skills and dedication to their craft.

Not only that, but the Treatment Platoon also underwent rigorous training, working on fellow Paratroopers and trauma affects mannequins to validate their urban Role 2 and increase their medical treatment capabilities. This type of training is essential for ensuring that our soldiers are always prepared to face any situation and provide critical medical care to their fellow Soldiers.
