FAQ

What makes tactical medicine so significant? Tactical medicine saves lives. Not in a symbolic sense, but literally. Survival on a battlefield for wounded soldiers and their comrades-in-arms depends on the knowledge of tactical medicine. Unofficial statistics indicate that in 95% of cases where servicemen's lives were eventually saved, servicemen had only 1 to 10 minutes to receive first aid. However, this was only possible if there were comrades-in-arms trained to provide high-quality and prompt aid next to the wounded ones. Knowledge of tactical medicine can also be applied to save the lives of civilians who are injured during hostilities.
Why train instructors when you can teach tactical medicine directly to soldiers? After the start of the full-scale Russian invasion, the number of servicemen in the Defense Forces of Ukraine increased manifold. Usually a mobilized soldier has no knowledge of tactical medicine. Therefore, teaching tactical medicine to them is not just a knowledge update or training, it is a comprehensive training process with material honing through multiple practical exercises. To train enough soldiers, the army lacks qualified instructors. The "Holding you” project will train such specialists and servicemen in a centralized manner and in compliance with established international protocols.
What exactly does the Foundation pay for? Come Back Alive purchases equipment for mobile educational and training centers, including:
  • Field training classrooms (tents + power supply and heating system);
  • Equipment for classrooms (projector, screen, chairs, etc.);
  • Simulation equipment, including training dummies;
  • Training consumables (tourniquets, bandages, splints, etc.);
  • Training kits (a basic set of equipment for instructors for conducting classes on the TССС ASM course).
How will Come Back Alive monitor the quality of soldiers' training? The Ukrainian Military Medical Academy together with the instructors of the Foundation will control the quality of training at the newly created educational and training centers.
