Ukraine's 17th Brigade Drills Soldiers To Apply Tourniquets By Reflex
The brigade's instructors recreate combat chaos in training, grading soldiers on speed, correctness and composure because the first minutes decide everything.
- The 17th Separate Heavy Mechanized Brigade repeats tourniquet drills until the motion becomes automatic.
- The brigade's Communications Section, not its medics, published the dispatch on July 17.
- The unit signs as the 17th Tank Kryvorizka Brigade, named for Kostiantyn Pestushko.
Why it matters: An army drills a motion into reflex only when it expects the wound to happen.
