Philippine Army and their Australian Army counterparts on May 30 underwent training in practical combat and medical skills to mark the mid-phase of Exercise Kasangga at Camp Kibaritan in Bukidnon.
PhilippineArmy Spokesman Col. Louie Dema-ala said the joint exercise focused on the real-time evaluation of interoperability, operational readiness, and tactical capabilities.
“Core components of this phase include Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) simulations aimed at developing the soldiers’ proficiency in executing life-saving interventions during combat operations,” Dema-ala said.
The soldiers also conducted a series of practical medical exercises such as battlefield triage and casualty evacuation under fire and treatment of critical injuries.
