"Excellent work , Tsgt Metz got a CAT on the left leg while the medic was assessing the airway and was considering a cric as evidenced by the scapel in his hand. Left arm got a CAT, pressure bandage and SAM splint, then they got to work looking for schrapnel to the chest and abdomen. Then they got him off the X and medivaced. All evidence of good TCCC skill and training. Only thing I would critique is they should have put a poncho or blanket over his torso before loading him to prevent hypothermia. Even a short flight can decrease the core temp and lead to fatal outcome.
Thanks Michael for sending this and showing lifesavers in action."
