Thank you.
I have one question for you, Major.
I was going to give you an opportunity to say what that final message was that you wanted to leave with the committee. I think Mr. Alexander gave you that opportunity to do it.
One thing we're trying to do in this study is lessons learned. How do we get better at what we do? From your perspective, how do we get better in the field with regard to traumatic injury and dealing with that? You were already asked about some things that we've resolved—backpacks, body armour, what we're carrying in our kits. We know for a fact that your ultrasound equipment is now being developed more by DRDC for more advanced operations right in the field by our medics.
You mentioned, and you showed, how traumatic improvised explosive devices, IEDs, are on our LAVs. We know we've cut them all down, we're putting in V-hulls, and we're reinforcing them so they're more blast-proof, which hopefully increases the survivability and decreases the injuries of our brave men and women who have to ride around in them.
In your mind, what else could we be doing better in the field to protect our troops, either at the FOB or even right with the medics who are dealing with those very first injuries?
Don't feel pressured that you have to answer it today. You can always write back to us.
