TCCC steps up to BSI
1) perform care under fire
Take cover, direct casualty to fore back, determine scene safe, determine number and location of injured, direct team if avail
2) assess casualty for life threatening extremity hemorrhage
If casualty unresponsive or unable to move has life threat bleeding take care of it ( tourniquet) or hemostatic
COMMUNICATE
3) tactfully transport patient to safety (recheck bleeding control) disarm crazy peeps, determine if casualty can keep going triage
