Training Regime/Story Requirements

First Responder training certifies a recruit in advanced first aid and trauma response. For this certification the trooper will write a single 1000 word story set at the end of the course. The story will revolve around a single practical training exercise in which the trooper will confront a variety of common battlefield injuries during a simulation exercise. He or she must properly diagnose each injury and do their best to stabilize the patient, all while dealing with the stress of combat.

Skills Gained

A certified first responder is, first and foremost, responsible for stabilizing a patient. As such, he or she is capable of diagnosing many common conditions and injuries and providing pre-hospital care for medical emergencies. They have more skill than someone who is trained in basic first aid but they are not a substitute for advanced medical care. First responders trained by the Corps are especially adept in battlefield injuries and working in combat conditions. They are skilled at triage and one of their main responsibilities is determining what further medical care is required and prioritizing patient care.
