Zeina Kassem: The Golden Hour is a sacred right for Lebanese Army soldiersjust like everyone else
Roads for Life (RFL) distributed 81 rescue kits to the Marine Commandos Regiment and 32 kits to other Lebanese Army fighting units, totaling 113 rescue kits distributed during the graduation ceremony concluding several training sessions at the Hamat Military Base.
The graduation included a live-fire exercise and a ceremony in honor of the Lebanese Red Cross, RFL, and Fransabank, headed by Fransabank Group Chairman Adnan Kassar who was represented by Dania Kassar.
RFL President Zeina Kassem asserted that “Lebanese Army soldiers, just like all other Lebanese citizens, are entitled to the Golden Hour in rescue operations, as they are always likely to be wounded whilst performing their national duty in defense of their country. The numerous battles fought by the Lebanese Army against terrorism have taught us that the theoretical and practical skills we provide in the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training program are supplemented by the use of specific tools, such as tourniquets and bandages, the absence of which would transform minor wounds into fatal injuries.”
In conclusion, Kassem pledged to keep on supporting the training program with the Lebanese Army in keeping with the guidelines and criteria set by its Command in order to face the security challenges that require a state of permanent readiness in terms of rescue techniques.
