Thoughts on construction of damage control medicine training system for our military

Damage control medicine (DCM) is regarded as an important guiding concept for enhancing the effectiveness of battlefield trauma care. However, at present, our military's battlefield first-aid system has not yet fully incorporated the DCM concept, and there remains widespread insufficient and incomplete understanding of DCM as well as inadequate mastery of related techniques. This article systematically reviews the current status of DCM training at home and abroad and identifies problems in our military's DCM training. It proposes a systematic construction approach characterized by competency orientation, hierarchical and categorized design, mission-driven implementation, and integration of technologies, aiming to provide theoretical and practical references for building frontline battlefield casualty care capabilities.
