In this episode, we aren't going to just ask and answer a bunch of questions about TC 4-02.1. No, we are going to focus on questions that are at a difficulty level that every SPC should be able to answer.

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 is an FMC?

What are the eight steps for evaluating a casualty?

What is Wartime Line 6 of the 9 Line?

What is Peacetime Line 6 of the 9 Line?

What is Line 7 of the 9 Line?

What is Line 8 of the 9 Line?

What is the Wartime Line 9 of the 9 Line?

What is the Peacetime Line 9 of the 9 Line?

What is Alpha through Echo on Line 3 of the 9 Line, Number of patients by precedence:

What are the 4 Nato Alphabet Codes for Line 4 of the 9 Line, Special equipment required:

What are the 2 Nato Alphabet Codes for Line 5 of the 9 Line, Number of patients by type?

What are the 4 Nato Alphabet Codes for Wartime Line 6 of the 9 Line, Security at pick-up site:

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.
Today we will be focusing on questions about first aid that
every E4 specialist and above should know as they prepare to
become an NCO. Each of these episodes will
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.

difference between a casualty and a patient?

(09:18):
Casualties are considered casualties while being treated
by non medical soldiers. Casualties are considered
patients after being handed off to medics and or doctors.
A casualty is anyone who is injured, wounded, ill, or killed
due to combat or other hazards. A patient, on the other hand, is
a casualty who has started to receive medical care from a

(09:39):
doctor or medic and entered intothe medical system.
Essentially, every patient begins as a casualty, but not
every casualty becomes a patientif they're not located or
treated in time. Understanding this distinction
is key in triage and evacuation planning.
It reminds soldiers to act quickly to move casualties into
care and convert them into patients with the potential for

(10:01):
survival. The retest chapter Now that we
