Another productive Reserve training night for 2nd Health Battalion, focused on strengthening interoperability and integration with other units across the battlespace.
Members trained together in a range of low light/no light tactical scenarios, practicing the delivery of medical care in challenging and dynamic environments. By working alongside our counterparts from other units, we continue to develop the skills, communication, and coordination required to provide effective medical support wherever and whenever it is needed.
Training together ensures we are prepared to respond as a capable and cohesive team in support of operations.
