Round 3 is in a scenario format, where you will start at the First Aid base before proceeding to Ground Zero.. At Ground Zero you will have to treat 3 casualties, then selecting 2 casualties with more severe injuries and evacuate them back to base. If there is still time after treating and evacuating the other 2 casualties, you can return to Ground Zero and evacuate the last casualty back to base. You will be given 30 minutes for this round. The location of Ground Zero will be revealed on the day itself.

Also, for this round, each casualty has 2 injuries, consisting of the following types:
bleeding
