This article discusses the achievements of the IDF Medical Corps and preparations for the future battlefield. It opens by stating that the corps' successes in treating the wounded and rapid evacuation to hospitals are now being studied at all Western military medicine academies, and that the ratio of fatalities to casualties was the lowest in the history of military medicine. It then describes the first IDF medical championship, held at the Military Medicine School (BHD 10), aimed at instilling new requirements for medical teams. Teams from all units competed – from battalion medics to intensive care teams. The 202nd Battalion aid station of the Paratroopers won first place among maneuvering units, and the intensive care teams of the Southern Brigade of the Gaza Division won the intensive care mobility category. The commander of BHD 10, Colonel A., is quoted saying the competition included complex drills such as opening veins and surgical interventions, and that brigade commanders called him to complain that their brigades had not won. The article uses a sensational headline ('The only army in the world that does this') but its body is factual and focused on the internal event.
