Training Doesn’t Stop in the Dark: How Power Stations Keep Combat Medic Instruction Going

On the proving grounds where tactical medicine courses take place, power outlets are rarely an option. Most of the training happens out in the field. And with the return of power outages, even well-equipped training centers regularly find themselves in the dark.

Proper medic training isn’t just hands-on practice – it also requires theory: studying care algorithms, analyzing clinical cases, and reviewing instructional material. To walk students through all of this, instructors rely on laptops, projectors, and other gear that need electricity to run.

To ensure blackouts and off-grid locations don’t disrupt the training schedule, Razom supplies instructors with portable power stations. They allow classes to run smoothly anywhere, keeping the curriculum fully intact regardless of power availability.

Volodymyr Zhuk, a tactical medicine instructor with Razom, shares:

“Tactical medicine courses often take place at training grounds or in areas without reliable access to electricity. For us, power stations mean we don’t have to pause training, no matter the circumstances. We plug in the projector, laptop, and other essential equipment – and during the colder months, we can even boil water for hot tea. Especially now, with outages picking up again, this kind of autonomy is crucial for running our classes. Thanks to these power stations, we can keep training combat medics anywhere, even completely off the grid.”

On the training ground, a power station is a guarantee that medics will cover every topic and master every skill on schedule.

The smoother and more reliable the instruction, the better prepared the trainees are. Out on the front line, the speed and precision of a combat medic’s actions directly determine a wounded soldier’s chances of survival.

That is why equipping training centers with backup power is a key priority of Razom’s winter support program. Strong medical care at the front line starts with uninterrupted, high-quality training in the rear.
