Class / briefing: Conditions: You have a casualty who has signs/symptoms of an injury. Your unit may be under fire.
Standards: Evaluate the casualty following the correct sequence. Identify all life-threatening conditions and other serious wounds.
Performance Steps
Note: Tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) can be divided into three phases. The first is care under fire; the second is tactical field care; the third is combat casualty evacuation care. In the first, you are under hostile fire and are very limited as to the care you can provide. In the second, you and the casualty are relatively safe and no longer under effective hostile fire, and you are free to provide casualty care to the best of your ability. In the third, the care is rendered during casualty evacuation (CASEVAC).
WARNING: If a broken neck or back is suspected, do not move the casualty unless to save his/her life.
