TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care)
Three Phases to TCCC:
1.)
Care Under Fire
2.)
Tactical Field Care
3.)
CasEvac
Care Under Fire:
1. ) Suppressed enemy fire to keep casualty from more wounds.
2. ) Encourage casualty to fire back and provide self aid.
3. ) After enemy is suppressed; apply tourniquet (casualties
tourniquet)
4. ) Transport casualty, weapons, mission-essential equipment to
cover when situation is permitted.
Tactical Field Care:
1.) Reassess tourniquet, Perform full blood sweep
2.) If not talking; Check airway for patency, put ear to mouth and
watch for chest rise, if no airway apply NPA Tube
3.) Open blouse and check for entry and exit chest wounds (front
& back); apply chest seals if needed.

Land Navigation
Page 18
Steps:
1. ) Receive coordinates 2.) Orient self to the map
3.) Plot all points 4.) Get Azimuths 5.) Get distances
6.) Route plan: closest to farthest 7.) Shoot compass
8.) lock compass/Use bezel ring 9.) use terrain to help
Colors on a Map:
-Black: Man-made features
-Blue: Water features
-Brown: Relief features and elevation
-Green: Vegetation
-Red: Man-made features
-Red-Brown: Cultural features and spot elevations
Terrain Features:
Hill (knuckles), Saddles (in between knuckles),
Spur (front of fingers going down), Ridge (all knuckles)
Cliff (side of fist), Draw (bottom of fingers) Cut (ticks in)
Fill (ticks Out)
Eight Digit Grid Coordinate
Land Navigation pt2
Three Norths: Grid, Magnetic & True
Back Azimuth: Add 180 if the azimuth is 180 or less, Subtract 180 if the
azimuth is 180 or more.
G-M Angle:
East- Magnetic to grid=Add, Grid to magnetic=Subtract.
West- Magnetic to grid=Subtract, Grid to magnetic=Add.
Contour Lines:
Index- Starting at zero elevation or mean sea level, every fifth contour
line is a heavier line
Supplementary- The contour lines falling between the index contour
line, four intermediate lines between index contour lines
Intermediate- These contour lines resemble dashes, one-half the
contour interval.
Intersection:
-The location of an unknown
point by occupying at least
two known positions.
-Locate position, find Grid
Azimuth, draw line on azimuth
Repeat with 2nd position. Your
Point is at the Intersection.
Resection:
-locating one’s position on a
map by determining the grid
azimuth to at least two locations
-locate positions, find grid Azimuth, convert to back azimuth
Draw a line using back azimuth
(repeat for 2nd position).
Intersection of lines is the point.
