July 27, 2017 | 3:34

3rd Medical Command (Deployment Support) participated in the Global Medic 2017 Combat Support Training Exercise (CSTX) to provide premier health service support to the combined joint task force.

The exercise included Reserve service members from the Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines, along with military medical professionals from the Canadian Army, British Army and Royal Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Land Force.

For three weeks Global Medic took place at various locations throughout America. Shaw Air Force Base, S.C., Fort Devens, Mass., Fort Hunter Liggett in Calif., along with Camp Roberts and Camp Parks, Calif., operated as the situational scenario-based simulation exercise locations that focused on the development of joint medical and tactical skills.

Operating in austere environments, subordinate units within the 3d MCDS such as the 332nd Medical Brigade and the 804th Medical Brigade conducted medical operations within the combined joint operating training area. Medical procedures were simulated on manikins to enhance realistic training in covering multiple treatment scenarios.

3d MCDS and Navy Reserve service members operated at joint command and operational level command posts. They worked side by side as the Joint Task Force Medical (JTF-MED) staff at Shaw AFB, S.C. and assumed the responsibility of providing command and control for the combined joint forces at Fort Hunter Liggett, Camp Roberts and Camp Parks.

Opportunities such as Global Medic 2017 CSTX, allow medical professionals to hone their skills while standing ready to answer the nation's calls. The team of professionals are highly skilled, licensed, and proficient in providing health service support.

3rd Medical Command Deployment Support is a senior deployable medical command and control headquarters, providing support to U.S. Army Africa and U.S. Army Central areas of operation. The division provides support and technical supervision for more than 7,500 soldiers and civilians located in 21 states and Puerto Rico to prepare and provide trained soldiers and units to conduct missions in the most capable, combat ready and lethal U.S. Army Reserve force in American history. Capabilities include health care specialists, X-ray technicians, ophthalmology, nurses, physician assistants, physicians, dentists, surgeons, and veterinarians.
