WARRIOR WEST: READINESS IN THE AGE OF INNOVATION

San Diego Convention Center

April 1-2

Stop the Bleed

Stop the Bleed is a course designed to educate the public on how to effectively reduce blood loss in an injured patient. Phokus Research Group will cover: identifying different types of bleeding, methods to control bleeds, and how to treat the patient post bleeding control. Any and all skill levels are welcome.

FMT Tactical Athlete Medic Certification

This course introduces the concept of movement therapy and performance enhancement to create simple and effective non-opioid musculoskeletal treatment and selfcare programs for the tactical athlete. Musculoskeletal injuries are one of the leading causes of non-combat related injuries within the Department of Defense. This course is a new paradigm for decreasing Return-to-Duty timelines and increasing force readiness with each athlete and command.

From Government-Wide Acquisition Contracts (GWAC) and service-specific contracts to tailored solutions, learn how ADS leverages agile and flexible procurement solutions to meet your needs in a time of crisis.
