The U.S. militarys combat trauma training courses use approximately 9,000 goats and pigs each year. This use is suboptimal due to, among other issues, the animals anatomical and physiological differences from humans. Compared with humans, goats and pigs have smaller torsos and limbs, thicker skin, and important differences in anatomy of the head and neck, internal organs, rib cage, blood vessels, and airway.

The most important elements of combat trauma training are human-specific injuries and treatments, volume of trauma exposure, and team building. The ideal training paradigm combines medical simulators, immersive simulated combat environments, and military or civilian trauma center training.
