Tactical medicine

About direction

Up to 28% of battlefield deaths can be prevented through high-quality pre-hospital emergency care. That is why military personnel must be able to combine tactical and medical tasks: provide aid to the wounded while continuing to accomplish the mission.

The training is delivered at two qualification levels:

ASM (All Service Members) — a basic level for all military personnel. The program covers care under fire, the MARCH algorithm, tourniquet application, and the MIST report — a structured method of transferring information about a casualty to the evacuation team.

CLS (Combat Lifesaver) — an advanced level for Combat Lifesavers. The course includes the full ASM curriculum, with expanded practical training, as well as additional skills such as needle decompression, nasopharyngeal airway insertion, assisted ventilation, and pelvic stabilization.

Each course concludes with scenario-based exercises that simulate combat casualty situations. Every scenario involves three participants: one acts as the casualty, using realistic moulage and simulation equipment, while the other two perform as rescuers. When safety conditions allow, additional stress factors are introduced, including darkness, pyrotechnics, smoke, and confined spaces.

By supporting this project, you help provide the training materials and equipment needed to conduct these courses.

Remember, every donation counts and saves someone's life in war!
