It’s a topic frequently seen in today’s news cycle. Many computer users have “been hacked” via their personal email or have dealt with the nuisance of a virus, which can do their own bit of damage. But what if crucial military networks or products were maliciously attacked through a computer code or a virus? Just like home computers, military computers are vulnerable to these attacks.

Military medical training presents trainees with a range of casualty scenarios and engagements involving hostile forces. Engagements may require Soldiers to suppress the opposing force and prevent additional casualties while treating the wounded. Medical training scenarios reinforce essential skills required to include proper tactics, such as maintaining a perimeter or properly using cover and concealment. The addition of a casualty requires trainees to adhere to the rules of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3).

DID YOU KNOW? The Marine Corps Seal
The Marine Corps Seal, designed by the Marine Corps Uniform Board in accordance with instructions of the Commandant of the Marine Corps, then General Lemuel C. Shepherd, Jr., was adopted by Presidential Executive Order 10538 of 22 June 1954. The traditional Marine Corps emblem-eagle, globe and fouled anchor-forms the basic device of the Seal. Of these three, the eagle and the fouled anchor are the most venerable, dating from 1800 when they first appeared on the Marine uniform button-a button which has remained to this day virtually unchanged from its original form. Influenced strongly by the design of the emblem of the British Royal Marines depicting as their domain the Eastern hemisphere, the U.S. Marines adopted in 1868 as their emblem a globe showing the Western hemisphere. To this was added the spread eagle and fouled anchor from the button. Twelve years later the motto, "Semper Fidelis," completed the design. The scarlet and gold surrounding the emblem are the official Marine Corps colors. These in turn are enclosed by Navy blue and gold signifying the Marine Corps as an integral part of the naval team.
