Module Overview & Protocol Standards
Designed around American Red Cross standards and wilderness trauma protocols. Recruits learn rapid triage, tourniquet application, heat exhaustion mitigation, and remote radio emergency communication procedures.
Unit 1: Wilderness Triage & Bleeding Control
Prioritizing casualties in low-resource environments. Proper windlass tourniquet placement, wound packing techniques, and managing hypothermia during extended field delays.
Unit 2: Environmental Hazard Mitigation
Recognizing stages of heat stroke versus dehydration, bee/asp sting anaphylaxis response, and safe evacuation signaling using GPS coordinates and mirror/smoke vectors.
