The episode is broken into 4 chapters:
The Pre-Test
The Lesson
The Re-Test
Repetition
Feel free to jump into the Pre-Test, and if you know everything, skip to the next difficulty level. If you want to know more about a question, stick around for the Lesson, where we will teach you what everything means. Then we'll re-evaluate at the Re-Test, and help you have it down consciously and sub-consciously in the Repetition chapter.
The questions we are going over are:
What are the three phases of TCCC?
What is a CASEVAC?
What is a MEDEVAC?
In what situation would you not render first aid to a casualty?
In combat, what is the biggest threat to a casualty’s life?

Welcome to the Board Questions podcast, where you can study for
your promotion or Soldier of theMonth board while driving,
commuting, or playing video games.

start with a pretest chapter, and if you confidently answer
(00:22):
every question, move on to the next most difficult episode and
test yourself there. If you didn't stick around and
start the lesson chapter where we will teach you each of the
answers in the lesson phase. Then the retest chapter will
give you a chance to try again. If you want to solidify your
answers subconsciously, the repetition chapter will repeat
(00:43):
the questions and answers, and you can solidify what you've
just learned by repeating them out loud.

next episode where the questionswill be a little harder.
If you want to learn more, let'sdive into the lesson chapter.
(03:24):
We will ask the question again, give you the answer, and then
explain why that is the correct answer and what it actually
means for you, the soldier. Question one, What are the three
phases of TCCC? One, care under fire. 2 Tactical
field care. 3 Combat Casualty Evacuation Care The three phases
(03:48):
of tactical combat casualty careTCCC are care under fire,
Tactical field Care and Tacticalevacuation taste vac.
These phases represent the chronological and situational
progression of care provided to casualties on the battlefield.
Care under fire takes place while under hostile fire and
(04:09):
focuses solely on returning fire, moving to cover, and
applying A tourniquet to controllife threatening bleeding.
Tactical field care begins when the casualty and rescuer are no
longer under effective enemy fire and can provide a more
thorough assessment and treatment, including airway
management, bleeding control, and treating for shock combat.
Casualty evacuation. Care tase vac is performed
(04:32):
during transportation to a medical treatment facility,
often involving continued monitoring and advanced
interventions. Question 2.
What is a case VAC casualty evacuation in non medical
vehicle or aircraft? A case vac casualty evacuation
refers to the movement of casualties aboard non medical
(04:54):
vehicles or aircraft without on route medical care.
It's often faster than a medevacbut lacks on board medical
personnel or equipment. Question Three.
What is a medevac casualty evacuation in medical vehicle or
aircraft? A medevac medical evacuation, on
(05:14):
the other hand, is the transportof injured personnel using
dedicated medical vehicles or aircraft, which do provide on
route medical care and must follow specific evacuation
protocols and protections under the Geneva Conventions.
Question 4IN what situation would you not render first aid
to a casualty? If the casualty shows clear
(05:36):
signs of death or giving, the maid would put your life in
danger. You would not render first aid
to a casualty if doing so would place your own life or the lives
of others in immediate danger, such as when exposed to direct
enemy fire, unstable structures,or electricity.
The safety of the responder comes first.
You are no good to the casualty if you become one yourself.
(05:59):
Question 5. In combat, what is the biggest
threat to a casualty's life? Bleeding in combat The biggest
threat to a casualty's life is massive bleeding, particularly
from extremity wounds. Uncontrolled hemorrhage can
cause death within minutes, which is why immediate
application of a tourniquet in the care under fire phase is
(06:22):
emphasized over other interventions like airway
management. Question 6.
What is self aid? Emergency treatment applied to
1's self Self aid is the immediate care a Soldier
administers to himself when injured and medical personnel
are not available. This may involve applying a
tourniquet, using a combat pill pack, or moving to cover.
(06:46):
It's a critical component of survival in combat and is one of
the reasons all soldiers are trained in first aid.
Question 7 What is first aid? Care rendered to a casualty
prior to the arrival of medical personnel.
First aid is urgent and immediate life saving care
provided by non medical personnel, including both self
(07:08):
aid and buddy aid until trained medical personnel arrive.
It involves techniques like bleeding control, airway
management and shock treatment and is performed with materials
from the improved first aid kit,FAK or whatever is available.
Question 8. How high above an injury should
you apply a tourniquet? 2 to 4 inches.
(07:31):
You should apply a tourniquet 2 to 3 inches above the wound,
between the wound and the heart and not over a joint.
If the wound is in a location where a tourniquet can't be
placed, other methods like packing with gauze and applying
pressure must be used. Question nine.
Name 4 Common points for checking pulse Side of neck
(07:53):
carotid ankle, dorsalis pedis wrist, radial groin femoral For
Common points for checking a pulse are the carotid neck,
femoral, groin, radial wrist, and posterior tibial ankle.
These sites correspond to major arteries and are used to assess
circulation and the effectiveness of bleeding
(08:15):
control. Question 10.
Which lines of a nine line medevac request must be given
before the helicopter can get inthe air?
Lines 1:00 to 5:00 Before a helicopter can lift off for a
nine line medevac, at least lines one through 5 must be
transmitted. These include location, radio
(08:36):
frequency, slash call sign, number of patients by
precedence, special equipment needed, and number of patients
by type, litter, or ambulatory. The rest can be updated on
route. Question 11.
What is care under fire? Care rendered while under
effective hostile fire with limited aid.
(08:58):
Care under fire is the first phase of TCCC and takes place
while the unit is under enemy fire.
During this phase, soldiers focus on returning fire, moving
to cover, and stopping life threatening bleeding, usually
with a tourniquet. Other forms of first aid are
deferred until the firefight ends.
Question 12. What is tactical field care?
(09:22):
Care in the field without the presence of hostile fire.
Tactical field care occurs aftereffective enemy fire has ceased
and more thorough medical evaluation and treatment can
occur. In this phase, responders assess
airway breathing, bleeding, and shock and apply treatments like
occlusive dressings, nasopharyngeal Airways, and
(09:43):
medications from the casualties combat pill pack.
Question 13. What is combat casualty
evacuation care? Care while procuring casualty
evacuation and connecting with the case vac or medevac.
Combat casualty evacuation care tase VAC begins once the
casualty is being moved via ground or air to a higher level
(10:06):
of medical care. Medical personnel continue
treatment, monitor vital signs, and provide on route care to
stabilize the patient. This phase ensures continuous
care until the casualty reaches a medical treatment facility.

next episode where the questionswill be a little harder.
If you want to learn more, let'sdive into the lesson chapter.
(03:24):
We will ask the question again, give you the answer, and then
explain why that is the correct answer and what it actually
means for you, the soldier. Question one, What are the three
phases of TCCC? One, care under fire. 2 Tactical
field care. 3 Combat Casualty Evacuation Care The three phases
(03:48):
of tactical combat casualty careTCCC are care under fire,
Tactical field Care and Tacticalevacuation taste vac.
These phases represent the chronological and situational
progression of care provided to casualties on the battlefield.
Care under fire takes place while under hostile fire and
(04:09):
focuses solely on returning fire, moving to cover, and
applying A tourniquet to controllife threatening bleeding.
Tactical field care begins when the casualty and rescuer are no
longer under effective enemy fire and can provide a more
thorough assessment and treatment, including airway
management, bleeding control, and treating for shock combat.
Casualty evacuation. Care tase vac is performed
(04:32):
during transportation to a medical treatment facility,
often involving continued monitoring and advanced
interventions. Question 2.
What is a case VAC casualty evacuation in non medical
vehicle or aircraft? A case vac casualty evacuation
refers to the movement of casualties aboard non medical
(04:54):
vehicles or aircraft without on route medical care.
It's often faster than a medevacbut lacks on board medical
personnel or equipment. Question Three.
What is a medevac casualty evacuation in medical vehicle or
aircraft? A medevac medical evacuation, on
(05:14):
the other hand, is the transportof injured personnel using
dedicated medical vehicles or aircraft, which do provide on
route medical care and must follow specific evacuation
protocols and protections under the Geneva Conventions.
Question 4IN what situation would you not render first aid
to a casualty? If the casualty shows clear
(05:36):
signs of death or giving, the maid would put your life in
danger. You would not render first aid
to a casualty if doing so would place your own life or the lives
of others in immediate danger, such as when exposed to direct
enemy fire, unstable structures,or electricity.
The safety of the responder comes first.
You are no good to the casualty if you become one yourself.
(05:59):
Question 5. In combat, what is the biggest
threat to a casualty's life? Bleeding in combat The biggest
threat to a casualty's life is massive bleeding, particularly
from extremity wounds. Uncontrolled hemorrhage can
cause death within minutes, which is why immediate
application of a tourniquet in the care under fire phase is
(06:22):
emphasized over other interventions like airway
management. Question 6.
What is self aid? Emergency treatment applied to
1's self Self aid is the immediate care a Soldier
administers to himself when injured and medical personnel
are not available. This may involve applying a
tourniquet, using a combat pill pack, or moving to cover.
(06:46):
It's a critical component of survival in combat and is one of
the reasons all soldiers are trained in first aid.
Question 7 What is first aid? Care rendered to a casualty
prior to the arrival of medical personnel.
First aid is urgent and immediate life saving care
provided by non medical personnel, including both self
(07:08):
aid and buddy aid until trained medical personnel arrive.
It involves techniques like bleeding control, airway
management and shock treatment and is performed with materials
from the improved first aid kit,FAK or whatever is available.
Question 8. How high above an injury should
you apply a tourniquet? 2 to 4 inches.
(07:31):
You should apply a tourniquet 2 to 3 inches above the wound,
between the wound and the heart and not over a joint.
If the wound is in a location where a tourniquet can't be
placed, other methods like packing with gauze and applying
pressure must be used. Question nine.
Name 4 Common points for checking pulse Side of neck
(07:53):
carotid ankle, dorsalis pedis wrist, radial groin femoral For
Common points for checking a pulse are the carotid neck,
femoral, groin, radial wrist, and posterior tibial ankle.
These sites correspond to major arteries and are used to assess
circulation and the effectiveness of bleeding
(08:15):
control. Question 10.
Which lines of a nine line medevac request must be given
before the helicopter can get inthe air?
Lines 1:00 to 5:00 Before a helicopter can lift off for a
nine line medevac, at least lines one through 5 must be
transmitted. These include location, radio
(08:36):
frequency, slash call sign, number of patients by
precedence, special equipment needed, and number of patients
by type, litter, or ambulatory. The rest can be updated on
route. Question 11.
What is care under fire? Care rendered while under
effective hostile fire with limited aid.
(08:58):
Care under fire is the first phase of TCCC and takes place
while the unit is under enemy fire.
During this phase, soldiers focus on returning fire, moving
to cover, and stopping life threatening bleeding, usually
with a tourniquet. Other forms of first aid are
deferred until the firefight ends.
Question 12. What is tactical field care?
(09:22):
Care in the field without the presence of hostile fire.
Tactical field care occurs aftereffective enemy fire has ceased
and more thorough medical evaluation and treatment can
occur. In this phase, responders assess
airway breathing, bleeding, and shock and apply treatments like
occlusive dressings, nasopharyngeal Airways, and
(09:43):
medications from the casualties combat pill pack.
Question 13. What is combat casualty
evacuation care? Care while procuring casualty
evacuation and connecting with the case vac or medevac.
Combat casualty evacuation care tase VAC begins once the
casualty is being moved via ground or air to a higher level
(10:06):
of medical care. Medical personnel continue
treatment, monitor vital signs, and provide on route care to
stabilize the patient. This phase ensures continuous
care until the casualty reaches a medical treatment facility.
