From 24th to 28th of February 2025, the Resident Course 26000 “Tactical Combat Casualty Care / Combat Lifesaver in Maritime Operations” was successfully conducted at the Centre’s premises.
The course aims to provide to all combatants and first responders (SOF and conventional personnel), involved in Maritime Operations, basic knowledge and skills in delivering necessary pre – hospital care with limited equipment and in confined spaces. Furthermore, critical and essential skills are taught so as first responders are able to assist medical personnel to provide more complicated medical assistance and deal effectively with a mass casualty situation.
Subject Matter Experts from NMIOTC, the 31 Search & Rescue Operations Squadron, HAF, the Hellenic Police, the Chania Fire Department and U.S. NSA Souda Bay – certified as NAEMT instructors – delivered training to sixteen (16) participants, coming from three (3) Countries (Germany, Greece and Switzerland).
