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 3
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 4
Developing A New Vision
Evaluate Who Does What Anymore?
Remaining Fixed Facility BDCs:
Lackland
Keesler
Wright-Patterson
Evaluate Travel Options to Each Location

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 6
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 7

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… 10
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
