SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE. 
This Act may be cited as the ‘‘Battlefield Excellence 
through Superior Training Practices Act’’ or ‘‘BEST 
Practices Act’’. 
SEC. 2. FINDINGS. 
Congress makes the following findings: 
(1) The Department of Defense has made im-
pressive strides in the development and use of meth-
ods of medical training and troop protection, such as 
the use of tourniquets and improvements in body 
armor, that have led to decreased battlefield fatali-
ties. 
(2) The Department of Defense uses more than 
8,500 live animals each year to train physicians, 
medics, corpsmen, and other personnel methods of 
responding to severe battlefield injuries. 
(3) The civilian sector has almost exclusively 
phased in the use of superior human-based training 
methods for numerous medical procedures currently 
taught in military courses using animals. 
(4) Human-based medical training methods 
such as simulators replicate human anatomy and 
can allow for repetitive practice and data collection. 
(5) According to scientific, peer-reviewed lit-
erature, medical simulation increases patient safety 
and decreases errors by healthcare providers.
