Op Tīeke: Tactical Combat Casualty Care | Episode 5

In this exclusive video series, we take you behind the scenes of New Zealand Defence Force's (NZDF) training for Armed Forces of Ukraine personnel. For more than three years, NZDF personnel have been deploying to the United Kingdom and Europe to help turn civilians into soldiers as part of the international community’s efforts to support Ukraine’s self-defence against Russia. In this episode, the trainees are taught to save lives on the battlefield. Tactical Combat Casualty Care – TCCC – is using a repertoire of basic life saving skills using tourniquets, bandages, chest seals and blankets, in lessons designed to be as realistic as possible. Some voices and imagery have been altered to protect identities. View the Op Tīeke playlist: nzdf.mil.nz/Op-Tieke-Playlist View the Op Tīeke feature: nzdf.mil.nz/Op-Tieke
