Course Description:
This four-hour training delivers practical, hands-on medical training based on the principles of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), developed by the United States Special Operations Forces and approved by our Trauma Medical Director at Defend Systems.
Participants will be trained in life-saving techniques that address the two leading causes of preventable death in combat and high-threat environments: massive hemorrhage and tension pneumothorax. While these interventions originate from battlefield medicine, they are equally applicable to active shooter incidents, workplace emergencies, motor vehicle accidents, and even at home.
Training Topics Include:
• Identification and management of massive bleeding, including use of direct pressure and positioning (e.g., knee placement over arterial bleed sites).
• Proper application and practical use of tourniquets on upper and lower extremities.
• Wound packing techniques for junctional areas where tourniquets are not effective.
• Chest seal application for penetrating trauma to the chest or torso.
• Prevention of hypothermia in trauma patients to reduce mortality.
The course emphasizes hands-on skills practice and real-world application in a non-graphic, accessible learning environment. All instructional materials use cartoon-style visuals to keep content approachable for all experience levels.
To reinforce learning, we will conclude with a review featuring body-worn camera footage from a real casualty collection point scenario. This provides context for how these interventions are applied under stress and highlights the importance of preparation and training.
This session is designed for civilians and professionals alike—no prior medical experience required. Attendees will leave with practical, field-tested skills that can make the difference between life and death.
