CTOMS Academy Announces the Release of Tactical Trauma Care Essential – Japanese

Thursday, October 17th, 2024

CTOMS™, in partnership with Fujita Medical Instruments™, has launched a Japanese version of CTOMS™ Academy’s TCCC/TECC e-training. The course is now available to Japanese service members through Fujita™.

Tactical Trauma Care Essential™ (TTCE) will provide Japanese service organizations with an expedient and consistent means of adopting combat proven casualty response training. With video demonstrations, lab footage, animations (3D), and expert instruction the course material is both engaging and in-depth. The content of the course is complete and will prepare students for effective casualty response in tactical environments. TTCE is ideal for facilitating and being used concurrently with hands-on training.

To create the Japanese version, CTOMS™ first translated the material then used AI to create avatars that would read the Japanese scripts. After some experimentation, creating a natural looking and sounding instructor was straight forward. With this complete, the onscreen text was translated and reedited into the videos. The entire course, over 5 hours of video content, was then reviewed and approved for accuracy by Fujita™.

The entire project has been very exciting for CTOMS™, who has now demonstrated the capability to convert its training programs into most languages.

New from SPARTANAT: “Defense Against Drones: Protection Against Threats from the Air”

Monday, October 14th, 2024

Aerial drones – especially small commercially available drones – have become a unique and ubiquitous challenge on the modern battlefield and pose a major threat to traditional military assets. Such small drones can be used to provide real-time reconnaissance, and/or be rigged with explosives and used as loitering munitions for remote kamikaze attacks.

Such weaponized micro-drones are a relatively new type of weapon, and every military and law enforcement unit needs to learn how to defend against them. “Defense Against Drones” provides the first open-source overview of how to survive and win in the fight against drones.

This book answers the question of what tactical drone defense means, analyzes drone defense tactics and lessons learned from the Russian war against Ukraine, and provides a good foundation for further discussion and analysis.

Topics covered in this volume include the current spectrum of tactical drone defense measures – including protection against micro-drones, the increasing ubiquity of cheap drones as the “Kalashnikovs of the Skies”, experiences from Ukraine, the 10 Commandments of Drone Defense, and an appendix of recommended further reading.

“DEFENSE AGAINST DRONES: Protection Against Threats From The Air” is available now on Amazon.com for $19.99, plus taxes and shipping.

Tuesday, October 1st, 2024

Last week we gave you a little taste of what Team O’Neil brings to the table in tactical driving training for military and LE as well as civilian drivers. This week we continue the series of videos with instructor Wyatt discussing Off Roading.

As a reminder, I’ll be attending their five-day tactical driving course later this month, at their facility in New Hampshire. These videos are as much for your benefit as for mine.
