The Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)
Examination evaluates a candidate’s ability to provide
lifesaving trauma care during civilian tactical and high-
threat incidents before definitive hospital treatment
becomes available. The examination emphasizes rapid
assessment, hemorrhage control, airway management,
evacuation priorities, scene safety, communication, and
coordinated emergency response in dynamic or potentially
dangerous environments.

TECC Examination Practice MCQs (Questions 1–50)
1.
During an active violence incident, a responder notices
severe arterial bleeding from a casualty’s thigh while
gunfire remains ongoing nearby. What should be the
responder’s immediate priority?
A. Begin detailed neurological assessment immediately
B. Apply a tourniquet rapidly before evacuation
C. Start intravenous fluid administration immediately
D. Remove the patient’s clothing completely
Answer: B
Rationale: During direct threat care, controlling life-
threatening hemorrhage rapidly with a tourniquet is the
highest priority before extensive assessment.
