NOTE: Performance steps/measures that are evaluated in other EFMB TCCC tasks (i.e.
Control Bleeding Using a Tourniquet task) will not be marked as a NO-GO on this task as long
as - ANSWER- ... they were attempted at the appropriate phase in the CTL.
Performance of a step/measure during the wrong phase (i.e., splinting a fracture in the care
under fire phase) or not performing at all will be marked as a NO-GO on this task.
1. Perform care under fire procedures. - ANSWER- a. Take cover. Return fire as directed
or required before providing medical treatment.
b. Direct the casualties to return fire, move to cover, and apply self aid if able.
c. Determine the scene safety/security.
d. Determine the number and location of the injured and severity of their injuries (Evaluated
IAW Triage Casualties task).
e. Direct team members/combat life savers to assist, if available.
f. Assess the casualties for life threatening extremity hemorrhage.
(1) If the casualty is unresponsive or unable to move and has severe extremity bleeding,
administer life-saving hemorrhage control before moving the casualty.
(a) Use a tourniquet for hemorrhage that is anatomically amenable to tourniquet application
(Evaluated IAW Control Bleeding with Tourniquet task).
g. Communicate the medical situation to the team leader, the evaluator for EFMB testing
purposes (Evaluated IAW Triage Casualties task).
h. Tactically transport the casualty, their weapon, and mission-essential equipment to cover,
as required (Evaluated IAW Evacuate Casualties tasks).
j. Recheck the bleeding control measures as the tactical situation permits.
NOTE: Despite fire superiority being gained during the care under fire phase of care, -

check that it was applied correctly. The candidate must be evaluated on performing each of
the TCCC tasks at least once.
NOTE: Once fire superiority has been gained - ANSWER- ...begin assessing and treating
life threatening hemorrhage.
NOTE: During Care Under Fire phase, apply only - ANSWER- ... hasty tourniquet(s) high
on limb over uniform, to control obvious extremity hemorrhage before moving casualty to
cover (Evaluated IAW Control Bleeding Using a Tourniquet task).
NOTE: If the casualty has equipment that is essential to the mission, - ANSWER-
...move the mission-essential equipment also. Do not try to move equipment that is
not mission essential.
2. Perform tactical field care procedures. - ANSWER- a. Establish a security perimeter.
b. Immediately remove the weapon and communication equipment from any casualty with
an altered mental status.
c. Communicate updates to the medical situation to the unit leader (Evaluated IAW Triage

d. Take body substance isolation (BSI) precautions.
e. Perform a primary assessment.
(1) Develop a general impression of the patient.
NOTE: A general impression is the observation of the casualty. Note clues to the patient's

appearance, signs of distress and any odors present (i.e., urine, vomit, feces).
