On February 20, a Green Beret assigned to the 7th Special Forces Group (Airborne) applies a tourniquet on the arm of a simulated casualty during a training mission on Eglin Air Force Base in Northwest Florida. The mission required the Special Forces soldiers to assault a mock drug-cartel outpost and document sensitive materials found inside.
