The 2018 Eighth Army-Korea Best Medic Competition challenged the mental and physical toughness of seven, two-person medical specialist teams of from across the Korean Peninsula as they faced a series of obstacles and medical trauma-based test lanes at Camp Casey July 11-13.

Competitors were evaluated during the 72-hour event as they applied combat lifesaving skills in various realistic day and night, high-intensity scenarios.

These scenarios included treat a casualty in the CS (tear gas) gas chamber, carry a litter, drag a weighted SKEDCO rescue system, low crawl uphill, pass a stress-shoot range, pass a swim lane, pass an obstacle course, carry teammates more than 50 meters (simulating moving a casualty to safety), and a 4-mile, up hill march with weighted vests.
