At times, casualty play is conducted to “monitor” the logistics needed to treat and evacuate casualties on the battlefield. Usually, live casualties are “tagged” in the field, verbally treated, and evacuated to see if logistically the equipment needed is in place. Units will “finger drill” these actions and often times receive high marks, giving leaders a false sense of security. They “believe” that when actual casualties are received, their Unit will be successful in treating and evacuating injured Soldiers from chaos. Why not create chaos and know for sure??

The FEBSSTM allows you to create chaos physically through casualty simulation. Moreover, Medics are trained psychologically with the addition of the key element of chaos – BLOOD! With the simple addition of blood, unseasoned medical personnel get “tunnel vision” and panic...
