EDGE (explain, demonstrate, guide, enable) is a process for training. This key to this training method is use it for all teaching opportunities.

	Guide	the learner tries the skill while the trainer guides him through it.
	Enable	the trainee works on his own under the watchful eye of the trainer. The trainer’s role is now to remove any obstacles to success, which enables the learner to succeed.

	He demonstrates how to bandage an ankle with an ace bandage from his patrol first aid kit.

	The assistant patrol leader is given the Ace bandage and encouraged to bandage the patrol leader’s ankle. Several times the assistant has has trouble starting the wrapping. The patrol leader patiently and persistently guides his assistant until he “gets it right”.
