    The Medical Simulation Training Center at Camp Williams

    The Medical Simulation Training Center at Camp Williams is a premier training facility dedicated to advancing medical readiness and tactical proficiency. Its primary purpose is to facilitate the comprehensive training of the 68W Combat Medic Specialist Sustainment Course. By bridging the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application, the MSTC ensures that military personnel are fully prepared to manage life-threatening injuries and save lives in high-stakes combat and trauma environments.

    A Facility Engineered for Realism

    The MSTC is an immersive tactical environment built to challenge and forge elite responders. The center provides a rigorous curriculum of specialized courses, including Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and advanced skills sustainment, all conducted within a facility engineered for absolute realism.

    The facility’s design includes extra-wide hallways and exterior double doors, allowing for the realistic movement of casualties on litters and gurneys for practicing patient transport under stress, from the point of injury to a trauma bay. Its location adjacent to large, open fields is ideal for integrating air and ground medical transport, allowing your teams to seamlessly practice hand-offs with helicopters and ground ambulances.

    Inside, advanced patient simulators breathe, bleed, and react to treatment in real-time, forcing trainees to manage life-threatening injuries under immense pressure. This hyper-realistic experience is amplified by full sensory immersion, including programmable smoke, combat sound effects, and strobing lights, creating an environment that rigorously tests both skills and nerve.

    Core Capabilities for the Modern First Responder

    Beyond its core military mission, the MSTC is open to train outside federal, state, and local agencies. The facility offers a powerful opportunity for civilian first responders, including EMS, Fire, Law Enforcement, and SWAT teams, to elevate their operational readiness. These partner agencies can perfect critical inter-agency communication, teamwork, and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) skills in an unparalleled training environment.

    68W Sustainment

    The following requirements apply to the 68W Sustainment Course:

    • Students must be able to lift 100 pounds or more
    • Students cannot be absent for any part of the course
    • Students must pass the end-of-course written exam with a score of 70%
    • If a Soldier misses more than 4 hours of training due to illness or injury, the Soldier will be dismissed from the course. If less than 4 hours, a review of the training missed will be done as soon as possible, as well as a check on learning by the PI to ensure a clear understanding of the topic
    • Table VIII Skills Qualification Testing will be conducted in a scenario-based format IAW MEDIC (TC 8-800) Sep 2021 Chapter 3. Profiles will be tested in IAW CMSD Policy # 2, Conduct of Sustainment Training and Table VIII Skills Qualification for Servicemembers on Profile, 31 Jan 2024.
      1. If during skills validation testing a student does not demonstrate the level of proficiency required, the instructor will immediately inform the course coordinator, who will counsel the student, ensure the student is retrained on the weaknesses identified, and have a different instructor retest the student.
      2. If the student fails to demonstrate competency a second time, the course coordinator will ensure the student is retrained, notify the MCO of the situation, have a different instructor retest the student, and counsel the student again to ensure that he understands the consequences of failing a third time.
      3. If the student fails to demonstrate competency a third time, he or she will not receive credit, and an additional counseling form will be placed in his or her file. However, he or she will be awarded 48 CEU hours respectively towards recertification for completion of the course.
    • MODS data entry will be done upon completion of the course
    • Current NRP license. If the license expired within the last two years, the student may attend with CMSD approval only

        68W Skills Validation (Table Ⅷ)

        MEDIC Tables I-VIII are sustainment and validation training, which is an annual requirement for the 68W Health Care Specialist. Training Circular (TC) 8-800 describes how to use the selected individual tasks and skill sheets addressed in the TC to develop, implement, and validate a training program to enhance and demonstrate the critical skills required of Soldier Medics. MEDIC Table Training and Validation, if conducted annually, provides 48 hours of continuing education, meeting the NREMT biennial re-registration requirements. Class size is 24.

        The following requirements apply to TC8-800 (MEDIC) Table Ⅰ-Ⅷ

        • MEDIC Table Training and testing are for the 68W Combat Medic only. Course instruction and testing will cover and be conducted IAW TC 8-800.
