Bloemfontein Emergency Care Training Satellite (BECTS) based at Tempe Military Base, Free State, held another successful Combat Lifesaver (CLS) course over the period of 03 to 14 June 2024. The course of 15 members comprised two pilots, five 500 Squadron members, and eight 1 Tactical Intelligence Regiment members. The course aims to equip members through multiple simulation exercises, skills such as the use of tourniquets and haemostatic agents to stop bleeding which they will experience in real-life battlefield conditions. The course culminated in a field exercise with drone footage for better evaluation of the battle space. This furthermore enabled the expertise of the 1 Tactical Intelligence members to come into play to allow for tactical movement for Care Under Fire, Tactical Field Care and Tactical Evacuation.

As per the SA Army doctrine, each section must have a Combat Lifesaver Course to be the first to assist in a combat scenario should a member get injured and require emergency stabilisation or any medical intervention. Their role is to keep the injured member stable until they can be sent to the Ops Medic for further observations. They are able to apply techniques, do hemostatic dressing application and put up intravenous lines, which are just a few skills that they are taught.
The course has its foundation in Tactical Combat Casualty Care, where tactics are vital in keeping members alive on the battlefield. Its realism to actual combat conditions comes to life when students are put through various combat simulations to put to use the medical skills that they are taught.
The skills a Combat Lifesaver Course is given are based on the MARCH acronym, on how to treat Massive bleeding, open the Airway, assist the Respiratory system, assess Circulation and treat Head injuries, Hypothermia and Hemorrhage control. On completion of the course, a special certificate ceremony is held to pay homage to all those that have lost their lives in the battle. The Satellite regularly trains specialists in Units such as Pathfinders, Special Forces, SA Police Service Special Task Force and Maritime Reaction Squadron.

The same UH-1 Huey that crashed and got the President of Iran killed…?? I just hope it’s not second hand . Great development though, the army deserves its own aviation squadron.
