Indirect Threat Care

Started on March 29, 2024

The second phase of care under TCCC is Tactical Field Care. For the civilian sector, this phase was renamed in TECC to be called “Indirect Threat Care.” Indirect Threat Care phase can be initiated once the casualty is in an area of relative safety, such as one with proper cover or one that has been cleared but not secured where there is less of chance of rescuers being injured or patients sustaining additional injuries. Similar to TCCC, assessment and treatment priorities in this phase focus on the preventable causes of death as defined by military medical evidence: Major Hemorrhage, Airway, Breathing/Respirations, Circulation, Head & Hypothermia, and Everything Else (MARCHE). This program can be an independent class or an add on and focuses on warm zone medical operations for all public safety or Rescue Task Force members.
