Tactical Combat
Casualty Care
Tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) can be divided
into three phases: care under fire, tactical field care,
and combat casualty evacuation care.
Care under fire limits the care you can provide:
Tactical field care occurs when you and the casualty are relatively
safe and no longer under effective hostile fire. Provide casualty
care to the best of your ability:
Combat casualty evacuation care is rendered during casualty
evacuation (CASEVAC):
• Return fire as directed or required before providing medical
treatment.
• Determine if the casualty is alive or dead.
• Provide tactical care to the live casualty.
• Administer life-saving hemorrhage control.
• Transport the casualty, his/her weapon, and mission-
essential equipment when the tactical situation permits.
• Recheck bleeding control measures as the tactical situation
permits.
• Form a general impression of the casualty as you approach
(extent of injuries, chance of survival).
• Check for responsiveness.
• Position the casualty and open the airway.
• Assess for breathing and chest injuries.
• Identify and control bleeding.
• Check for fractures.
• Check for burns.
• Administer pain medications and antibiotics (the casualty's
combat pill pack) to any Soldier wounded in combat.
• Transport the casualty to the site where evacuation is anticipated.
• CASEVAC refers to the movement of casualties aboard nonmedical
vehicles or aircraft.
• Care is rendered while the casualty is awaiting pickup or is being
transported.
• A Soldier accompanying an unconscious casualty should monitor the
casualty's airway, breathing, and bleeding.

Inside the glove and tool compartment
Above the sun visor
Under the left front fender well and behind the wheel
Under the front bumper and behind and under the grill
Under the hood and all areas behind the radiator and around the engine

Escalation of Force (EOF)
EOF is defined as the sequential actions that begin with
nonlethal force measures (visual signals to include flags,
Spotlights, lasers, and pyrotechnics) and may graduate to
lethal measures (direct action) to include warning,
disabling, or deadly shots to defeat a threat and protect
the force. EOF is not a substitute for but is a part of the
rules of engagement (ROE).
Use audible warning.
Use visual aids (lights, signs).
Use nonlethal means (barriers).
Show weapon; demonstrate the intent
to use (aiming weapon).
Fire warning shots (fire over hood).
Use disabling fire
(on personnel
and/or vehicles).
Use deadly force.
Detainee Operations
Disarm the detainee and confiscate weapons, cell phones,
computers, and documents. Inform the detainee of the
reason for detention. Be respectful; men search men and
women search women.
Question detainee’s identity and address what happened.
Prohibit the detainee from communicating.
Evacuate or transfer the detainee and any materials to
nearest holding facilities (use military police).
Ensure prisoners arrive safely. Always photograph and
transport evidence (confiscated equipment) with
the detainee. Tag detainee's
possessions and all
physical evidence.
Get sworn/witness statements.
RESPECT
Respect is the overriding consideration in detainee handling.
Regardless of what they have done,
detainees are human beings in your care.
