So who will help the wounded? Mostly nobody at first. He has to help himself.

Czech soldiers leaving for foreign missions are being prepared for the eventuality that they may be captured. In addition to the theoretical part, which contains a lot of important information, they have the opportunity to try such a situation on their own skin during practical training.

The Ministry of Defense therefore organizes a special training course for war correspondents, humanitarian workers and employees of regional authorities. What does such a course look like? I decided to find out for myself.
