Combat Medics Conducting Casualty Care Training Exercise, U.S. Army

Army medics practice battlefield first aid and casualty evacuation during a training exercise, an essential rehearsal for the realities of combat. Wearing Red Cross brassards for protected status under the Geneva Convention, these soldiers trained to stabilize and transport wounded comrades under fire, skills that would prove critical on battlefields in Europe and the Pacific during World War II.
