Arctic Warrior Challenge 2022 hones 673d Medical Group Airmen’s readiness skills
A U.S. Army paratrooper assigned to the 2nd Infantry Brigade Combat Team (Airborne), 11th Airborne Division (Arctic Angels) descends over Malemute Drop Zone during airborne training at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Oct. 20, 2022. Following the airborne training some of the paratroopers simulated jump casualties for 673d Medical Group Airmen participating in the Arctic Warrior Challenge 2022. The Arctic Warrior Challenge was a scenario-based field training exercise designed to hone the 673d Medical Group Airmen’s tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) skills, improve operational readiness, and foster unit cohesion. TCCC outlines prehospital combat medicine devised to provide lifesaving care to injured combatants, to limit the risk of further casualties, and to help achieve mission success.
