FORT McCOY, Wis. — More than 150 combat medics from across Wisconsin converged here May 17-19 to participate in round-robin refresher training as part of the Wisconsin Army National Guard's Army Medical Department (AMEDD) Conference.
Critical skills included administering immunizations, preventing and treating anaphylactic shock, properly packing aid bags, proper ground evacuation procedures, behavioral health, and combat scenario training lanes.
According to Sgt. 1st Class Dick Wilson, the Wisconsin Army National Guard's combat medic coordinator and the noncommissioned officer in charge of the three-day event, the conference allowed participants "to network with other units around Wisconsin and share the best practices across board."
