00:00.519 --> 00:02.809
The Japan Ground Self Defense Force's

00:02.809 --> 00:04.976

00:04.976 --> 00:07.179
the joint battlefield injury treatment

00:07.179 --> 00:09.850
training event on Camp Mishuku in Tokyo

00:10.140 --> 00:12.130
with soldiers from US Army Medical

00:12.130 --> 00:14.729
Activity Japan . The training was meant

00:14.729 --> 00:16.673
to enhance interoperability in the

00:16.673 --> 00:17.673
medical field .

00:26.270 --> 00:27.270
The .

00:38.090 --> 00:45.979
The

00:45.979 --> 00:48.146
training gave both the US soldiers and

00:48.146 --> 00:50.060
the JGSDF members the chance to

00:50.060 --> 00:52.282
practice their roles in the event of an

00:52.282 --> 00:54.060
emergency and to practice their

00:54.060 --> 00:55.949
response procedures in a Japanese

00:55.949 --> 00:56.949
environment .

01:00.950 --> 01:03.810
Colonel Gary Hughes , commander of

01:03.810 --> 01:05.088
Medak Japan , talked .

01:23.940 --> 01:25.940
About the three major objectives he

01:25.940 --> 01:28.051
wanted his soldiers to achieve during

01:28.051 --> 01:30.051
the training . First , we wanted to

01:30.051 --> 01:32.162
observe the Japan Ground Self Defense

01:32.162 --> 01:34.218
Force conduct their war wounds joint

01:34.218 --> 01:35.940
training . Second , we want to

01:35.940 --> 01:37.849
demonstrate our tactical combat

01:37.849 --> 01:40.279
casualty care techniques . But third

01:40.279 --> 01:42.501
and most important , we wanted to build

01:42.501 --> 01:44.723
relationships as we discussed how we do

01:44.723 --> 01:46.779
our training and conduct care of our

01:46.779 --> 01:49.580
wounded . The JGSDF Medical Service

01:49.580 --> 01:51.580
School hosts the bilateral training

01:51.580 --> 01:52.580
annually .

02:29.080 --> 02:30.247
It was good . Um , I

02:35.000 --> 02:37.000
really enjoy being able to have the

02:37.000 --> 02:38.833
opportunity to come out here and

02:38.833 --> 02:40.889
participate in their training . Um ,

02:40.889 --> 02:43.000
it's always nice to be able to , uh ,

02:43.000 --> 02:45.167
integrate with them , see what they're

02:45.167 --> 02:47.389
working with , see how they do things ,

02:47.389 --> 02:49.333
as well as show them how we do our

02:49.333 --> 02:51.444
stuff . 100% it's beneficial . Um , I

02:51.444 --> 02:53.667
think it was awesome to be able to test

02:53.667 --> 02:53.399
my skills again as a medic . Uh , I

02:53.399 --> 02:55.510
haven't really been able like working

02:55.510 --> 02:57.510
in a clinic . I haven't really been

02:57.510 --> 02:56.880
able to do like this kind of stuff for

02:56.880 --> 02:59.350
a while , so it was awesome to be able

02:59.350 --> 03:02.199
to , uh , do that again and see kind of

03:02.199 --> 03:04.479
like what I still know and what I need

03:04.479 --> 03:06.759
to work on to get better at and I also

03:06.759 --> 03:08.759
think it's awesome to work with the

03:08.759 --> 03:10.703
JDSTF like I said , so that we can

03:10.703 --> 03:12.703
learn to work together like in case

03:12.703 --> 03:14.926
anything does happen , we'll be working

03:14.926 --> 03:17.148
like side by side and it it should be a

03:17.148 --> 03:19.148
lot more seamless now . For US Army

03:19.148 --> 03:21.370
Garrison Japan public affairs , this is

03:21.370 --> 03:21.210
