NDD,

I went through 68W AIT a little less than a year ago, and nothing was taught about this. Our training on bleeding control pretty much focused on Combat Gauze as a hemostatic agent, with tourniquets and pressure dressings as appropriate. Whether or not clamping is covered in OEMS or any of those high speed classes, i don't know, as I haven't had the chance to attend yet.

I apologize if you were referring to the 18D or W1 course specifically, in which case I am hopelessly out of place here; back to lurking in my lane!
