The Soteria Defense Tactical Casualty Care / Tactical First Aid provides the techniques and training to render medical aid as quickly as possible to victims of violent injury. This course follows state and national guidelines for treating the leading causes of preventable death. “Tactical Casualty Care” was originally a Special Operations research effort, now used throughout the U.S. military and by most allied countries and has helped U.S. combat forces achieve the highest casualty survival rate in history. National and international examples of high-level violent incidents include but are not limited to the The Boston Bombing, Florida Night Club shooting, San Bernardino, Bataclan Theater, Mumbai, Kenya (mall and university) and more. These incidents have emphasized the need to enable first responders with enhanced first aid training. The National Association of EMS Educators (NAEMSE) has recognized the advancement of casualty treatment by the military with national implementation of simple methods of treatment and equipment readily available for law enforcement, EMS, security professionals and even “bystander first responders.” This course is a must have for anyone in the law enforcement, first responder and security related industries, and any person who wants or needs to enhance their medical skillset.
* This course provides a 2 year certification.
