JOINT BASE CHARLESETON, S.C. --  Members of the 315th Airlift Wing prepared for the upcoming Operational Readiness Inspection by completing an advanced Self Aid and Buddy Care course while wearing chemical warfare gear. Instructors required participants to don their chemical gear to ensure that the training was as close to what they will see during the inspection as possible. SABC encompasses basic life support and limb-saving techniques to help wounded or injured personnel survive in medical emergencies until medical help is available. SABC training is completed every at a minimum every 24 months but ORI participants will receive significantly more training than that. SABC training consists of an online computer based training (CBT) course and hands-on skill verification through SABC instruction in accordance with AFI-36-2238, and AFI 36-2218VI respectively.
