The U.S. Army Medical Test and Evaluation Activity (USAMTEAC) carried out an Operational Test (OT) of a new version of the medical oxygen concentrator (MOC) at Fort Liberty, NC. from July 31 to August 2, 2024. The MOC is a medical device that helps provide lifesaving oxygen in emergencies. The MOC was put to the test in various scenarios designed to simulate real-life emergencies involving military working dogs. These scenarios included situations like treating gunshot wounds, rescuing dogs trapped in collapsed buildings, and even dealing with alligator encounters. Each scenario was created to make sure the MOC could handle different challenges that soldiers might face in the field.
The test was a team effort with the U.S. Army Medical Material Development Activity (USAMMDA) and the 248th Medical Detachment Veterinary Service Support (MDVSS).
