Louisiana Army National Guard medics continue to hone their skills with a K-9 TC3 course as part of a 10-day medic sustainment course to recertify their National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians (NREMT) and CPR certifications. This training allows medics to learn techniques to assist wounded service dogs in the absence of veterinarians while in the field. Medics use a fake training dog from Fort Polk near Leesville, Louisiana to become familiar with the differences in required equipment, anatomy and treatment required for K-9s. Medics are taught how to properly perform interventions, such as applying a tourniquet to a wound, checking vital signs and how to clear K-9’s airway. #ProtectWhatMatters
