RISC training Day 2 at BDC
The second of the three day course on combat medical training. The RISC program—Reporters Instructed in Saving Colleagues— was started by journalist Sebastian Junger after the death of his close friend and colleague Tim Hetherington in Libya in April 2012. Training ends on April 20th, the first anniversary of Tim’s death, as well as that of fellow photojournalist Chris Hondros who was with him in Misurata.
