Malta Red Cross Gozo branch has delivered a five day intensive course to the AFM C-Company and Engineers division. The course consisted in Mine Rescue Education Program and Military First Aid. The Mine Rescue Education program was covered by Italian Military Red Cross and Mine Rescue Education Instructor Capt Marco Danielli. The Military First Aid was covered by Mr Etienne Micallef, Secretary General of the Gozo Branch assisted by instructors Anthony Grech and Mario Saliba. All AFM personel who attended for the course will become qualified in the first stage of Mine Rescue Education and Military First Aid. In other words, they are more aware of what happens in mine environments and how to act in mine infected areas. The course ended with a simulation of a helicopter pickoff where the rescuer had to recover a casualty who ended in a mine field.
The course also included some aspects about International Humanitarian Law (IHL) by Dr Christina Saydon.
The course held in February will be followed with another course, which will take place in March. The followup course in March will qualify AFM soldiers to the Mine Rescue Level.
