FORT INDIANTOWNGAP, Pennsylvania (CNN) -- Military medics have a new training tool to help them as they head into the battlefield. "Stan" is a virtual mannequin, a breathing simulator with pupils that react, blood pressure that rises and falls, and well-placed chips that react just like a human to medication. "You can practice without risk," says Ron Carovano, deputy director of government systems at Medical Education Technologies Inc.

Medical Correspondent Eileen O'Connor reports.
