A Centennial Medic Challenge is to be held during the Centennial Celebrations at Linton Military Camp on 10 July 2008.
The challenge will commence in the Bahrain Room of 2nd Health Support Battalion with a quiz and will conclude at the Linton Camp, Parsons Range with a quick reaction range shoot.
The challenge is a series of cumulative individual stands in or around the Linton Camp Confidence course. It will combine corps knowledge, medical skills, physical agility and shooting skills. It is open to all soldiers regular and reserve.
The skills stations and scenarios are assessed and points weighed based on the individual's training level, thus enabling new and experienced soldiers to participate equably. The tests involve a written test, a short battle run, and confidence course with medical scenarios at various stations, including a resuscitation stand. The challenge will conclude with a range shoot.
Participants will be required to come with a medical bag (NZCES2165), kitted out to their preference as well as any ‘extra’ kit they choose to carry. Remembering this is a test of endurance as well as medical skills. Camouflage uniform (DPM or dress No. 3) with webbing to be worn.
Prizes for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd as well as a trophy to the overall winner is to be presented at the RNZAMC Centennial Cocktail Party.
