For contributions to MASCAL training and rehearsals, in support of D CO, 1-82 Attack Battalion. During this period, served as both first responder and patient role-player during four iterations of combat trauma and MASCAL training. As a simulated patient, he endured four hours of treatment from point of injury, aid and litter team movement, Combat Lifesaver management at the casualty collection point, evacuation to the Role I trauma bay, and stabilization and MEDEVAC to Role II care. His dedication and self-sacrifice contributed monumentally to the quality of training for four companies and to the overall readiness of the Task Force for contingency response. His outstanding achievements and devotion to duty reflect favorably upon himself, his unit and the United States Army.
SPC House, with his FLA crew, assisted Weed Army Community Hospital's Emergency Department during a real world MASCAL. While dropping off a patient, a 9 line MEDEVAC was called for 10 rotational Soldiers to be picked up at an AXP, which was well beyond the capabilities of the Hospital's ambulance section. Upon arrival at the AXP, SPC House aided with triage and treatment. SPC House's efforts led to the rapid transport, early treatment, and positive outcomes for all 10 patients.
