ing security in all directions while
other Soldiers moved to the next
defensive position.
When the injured Soldier was
found in a remote corner of the
compound, some security platoon
Soldiers established a defensive
perimeter while other helped Lie
assess the extent of the victim’s
injuries.
Lie, with assistance from some
of the other Soldiers, applied a
tourniquet and necessary bandages,
placed the mannequin on a lit-
ter and evacuated the 180-pound
victim to a more secure area where
transportation to the hospital
would be more accessible.
“It’s a great refresher for a medic,”
said Lie. “Even though we perform
extensive medical training, you can
never practice enough.”
Observers and participants went
through the exercise step-by-step
and discussed the positives and
negatives of the training, so next
time, the same mistakes will be
avoided.

bled in different directions, usher-
ing people to bunkers while others
grabbed extra gear, but they all
quickly organized into small groups
at various locations in a way that
showed there was disciplined order
within the chaos.
“We all assume we know what
to do, but through training exer-
cises like this, you realize you may
have forgotten something or done
something wrong in the heat of
the moment, and you realize what
you need to work on,” Spc. Rudy
Lie, security platoon medic, HHC,
STB, 1st Cav. Div. RSSB, said.
“We have to know what we’re miss-
ing and catch the little things.”
The Soldiers also had to respond
to an alert that communicated an
unknown number of injured per-
sonnel, played by mannequins,
requiring medical treatment and
evacuation, thus implementing
mass casualty training and response.
Teams of Soldiers grabbed extra
medical gear and leapt into action,
tactically and swiftly moving
throughout the compound search-
ing for the injured personnel. The
teams moved as a cohesive unit,

other civilians as shields against
coalition and Iraqi air and artillery
strikes and employed protected
facilities such as hospitals, mosques
and schools as weapons storage
facilities and bases for its terrorist
operations.
Since Oct. 17, 2016, the coali-
tion has conducted 558 airstrikes
in support of the Iraqi forces,
deploying 10,115 munitions
against IS IL targets. These muni-
tions have destroyed at least 151
vehicle bombs, 361 buildings or
facilities, 140 tunnels, 408 vehi-
cles, 392 bunkers, 24 anti-air artil-
lery systems and 315 artillery or
mortar systems.
During the offensive, the Iraqis
fended off an average of five vehi-
cle bombs a day and endured daily
mortar and sniper attacks, as well
as surveillance and frequent attacks
by ISIL unmanned aerial systems
dropping grenades on friendly
forces.
“This is a monumental
achievement for not only the
Iraqi security forces and sov-
ereign government of Iraq but
all Iraqi people,” said Army Lt.
Gen. Stephen Townsend, the
commanding general of Com-
bined Joint Task Force Opera-
tion Inherent Resolve, the mul-
tinational counter-ISIL coalition
tasked with the military defeat of
ISIL in Iraq and Syria.

SOUTHWEST ASIA — After
more than 100 days of hard urban
combat, Iraqi officials announced
the liberation of eastern Mosul
Tuesday.
While clearance operations are
still ongoing, the Iraqi security
forces control all areas inside the
city east of the Tigris River, the
east bank of the river around all
five bridges crossing the Tigris
River, Mosul University and the
Ninevah Ruins.
During the offensive to liber-
ate the city, which was held by
the Islamic State of Iraq and the
Levant for more than two years,
the Iraqi and peshmerga security
forces fought through an elaborate
defense formed to keep Iraqi secu-
rity forces out and hold captive
the city’s more than one million
residents.
Throughout the fighting, the
Iraqi security forces displayed
exceptional professionalism, plac-
ing the lives of citizens before
their own and taking precautions
to protect the citizens of Mosul,
Combined Joint Task Force Oper-
ation Inherent Resolve officials
said.
Meanwhile, officials added, ISIL
resorted to using children and

BAGRAM AIR FIELD, Afghani-
stan — A simulation here focused
on how quick and effective security
elements would react to an enemy
attack on the compound. Securing
the area, getting accountability of
personnel and locating and evacu-
ating the wounded while providing
tactical combat casualty care were
amongst the skills tested during the
training exercise.
“As a platoon sergeant, you are
looking for a certain level of profi-
ciency from the team, be it medical
skills, military tactics or just overall
battlefield knowledge,” Staff Sgt.
Rodniel Valdes, platoon sergeant,
security platoon, Headquarters and
Headquarters Company, Special
Troops Battalion, 1st Cavalry Divi-
sion Resolute Support Sustainment
Brigade, said.
On the day of the exercise, secu-
rity platoon Soldiers were going
about their normal daily activities,
unaware of any scheduled training
until the alarm sounded on the
loudspeakers inside the compound.
