SLIDESHOW: Mass Casualty Training Exercise in Curragh Camp

This week, the Defence Forces' Medical School and UCD conducted a joint mass casualty and triage exercise in the Defence Forces Training Centre in the Curragh Camp.

The exercise saw students drawn from both UCD's Advanced Paramedic and Military Medical Care programmes encounter a vehicle attack which escalated to an active shooter incident.

A total of 44 students, including Defence Forces, Dublin Fire Brigade, the National Ambulance Service, An Garda Síochána and the Civil Defence personnel took part in an exercise which saw their new found skills tested in a robust environment.

The Defence Forces wished all of the participants the very best of luck with their future studies.
