Background
Blood Donor Center and Transfusion Operations is a Vital RSV Component to 4T and 43T AFSCs
Covered Briefly in 4T CDC Volumes* Not Covered in Lab Officer Training*
*Unless Assigned to a Related Position, then OJT
…Exception: Phase II Participation or Nearby Location Many AFMS MTFs Have Reduced or Eliminated BDC &
Blood Bank (Tx) Requirements Current Requirement is Computer Based Training or Other
Variable of Simulation BLUF: Degraded RSV Training Requirements are Leading
to Under Prepared Laboratory Staff
4
New Paradigm?
In Direct Relation to Our Current Training Model: “It’s Easier to Say No, Than How.”
Real-World Training Opportunities Exist Right in Front of ALL of Us!
Recognize That CBT Alone, Does NOT Provide Adequate RSV Training for Ops/Rxs
Augment CBT Requirements Acquiring Hands-On Skills in BDC & Tx Operations!
Recognize That Deployed Troops are Not 120% Ready Allow Participation in This Program to Gain All the
Necessary BDC/BB RSV Skills BLUF: Accept a New Archetype in OUR RSV Training

Developing A New Vision
Evaluate Who Does What Anymore? Remaining Fixed Facility BDCs:
Lackland Keesler Wright-Patterson
Evaluate Travel Options to Each Location Commercial---Yes Military---No
Evaluate Lodging/Etc For a Stay at One of the Above Commercial---Yes Military---Yes*

Developing A New Vision
Potential Locations Where Military Air Travels… AND Who Has the Facilities to Solidify A New Vision??? Not Many to Choose From Except…
Armed Services Blood Bank Center-Europe, Landstuhl, GE
AMC Planes Frequently Visit Ramstein AB, Plus Connecting Flights in USAFE Can Be Accomplished
All Flights are Free to Active Duty and Priority is Given to those on Orders
7
Configuring the Process
Began With a Series of Email/Phone Calls to Discuss Options and Viability
Eventually Led to a Vision Between Locations for Bridging the RSV Gap
Process had to be a Win-Win for ALL Parties Involved to be Successful Select AMC Lab Techs Would Attend 2-3 Weeks of Training at
Landstuhl (competent vs proficient) Gaining Much Needed Hands-On BB/BDC RSV Skills
Landstuhl Would Provide Training and In Return… Utilize Trained Personnel to Augment Existing Staff if Able
Led to Site Visit With ASBBC-E and Executive Leadership from Ramstein and Landstuhl Locations

Skills To Be Gained
*Time Permitting

Capitalizing Off the Gains
Transfusions are Inevitable and Require Competency Whole Blood Transfusion Requests are Typically not
Scheduled in the AORs Requests May Come When Staffing is Not Optimal Having a More RSV-Ready Staff Could Be the
Difference in a Life Being Saved or Lost Building a Plentiful Pool of Deployment-Ready Lab
Staff Can Help Ease Taskings at Larger MTFs and Enable More 4Ts and 43Ts to Gain Deployment Experience
Continued…

Capitalizing Off the Gains
Though Investing in Training Additional Staff: Landstuhl Gains Manpower to Augment Existing Staff Strengthens Core Knowledge Through Training Both Student and Trainers May Discover Improved
Methods While Adhering to cGMPs MAJCOM Leadership and Deployment Staff Gain

Training Model and Build a Closer Force Hands-On Training Solidifies CBT Experience and
Enhances Career Opportunities
