They can't afford practice mannequins or even spare bits of piping. They need to do it with living humans as the practice models.

im actually pretty confused by this critique, stb training normally has you practice on yourself rather than a mannequin, and mil training often does so on others. this looks like a prone (and in cover) drill. none of this seems unexpected except that those tourniquets look like shit, either improvised practice or otherwise.

I wasn't aware of the constraints introduced by prone cover training. Also I seem to have memories of seeing demonstrations of tourniquets using analogs of some kind, and apparently just assumed that was typical.
