American Medical Operations Group have trained Kenya Defence Force (KDF) soldiers on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Skills.
KDF on Tuesday said that training focused on how to handle casualties during the pre-hospital phase of care.
"The training offers participants the necessary knowledge and skills to handle combat and non-combat emergencies both on the battlefield and in everyday life," KDF said.
The participants trained on both theory and field training.
"TCCC is a crucial initial emergency medical intervention taken by soldiers, either individually or collectively, in cases of combat injuries to prevent further injury or loss of life on the battlefield," KDF said.
KDF stated that 90 per cent of combat casualty victims die before reaching the hospital due to massive bleeding or breathing complications.
"TCCC focuses on addressing this challenge, which will be critical in saving the lives of injured soldiers before medical evacuation," KDF said.
The participants immersed themselves in realistic scenarios, putting their TCCC skills to the test.
KDF said that from treating simulated combat injuries to managing trauma, they honed their abilities under pressure.
The training offers participants the necessary knowledge and skills to handle combat and non-combat emergencies both on the battlefield and in everyday life.
The joint training will enhance the integration of skills between the US and the KDF, in joint operations.
