The goal of this training is to give the students the skills to react to a casualty-producing event and provide medical assistance until the arrival of First Responders. Department of State Medical training utilizes the Massive hemorrhage, Airway, Respirations, Circulation, and Hypothermia (M.A.R.C.H.) method for casualty assessment. The contractor will teach this method so that all individuals at all posts will have common medical knowledge in the event of an emergency. The classroom should be large enough to conduct practical in-classroom exercises. Students must leave the course with an Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK). 3.1. Medical – Introduction: This block will introduce students to the M.A.R.C.H. mnemonic. This block will also provide students with information on why survival rates are the highest they have ever been, as well as the differing wounds that may be associated with varying levels of velocity. 3.2. Medical – Massive Hemorrhage: Massive hemorrhaging is a life threat that must be addressed in a timely manner. Students will be exposed to the three (3) types of bleeding, as well as discuss methods for addressing massive hemorrhaging to the extremities of a casualty. Objectives: - Identify the locations on the human body where a tourniquet should be applied - Apply M.A.R.C.H - Apply a tourniquet within 30 seconds - Demonstrate re-assessment techniques following unsuccessful control of massive hemorrhaging - Identify how to use hemostatic agent to control bleeding 3.3.

Students will be exposed to various occlusive dressings that are currently commercially available, as well as being taught how to create them if needed. Objectives: - Manage respiratory distress 3.5. Medical – Circulation & Splint: Often basic concepts like bandaging are overlooked by first responders, yet they can be critical in the overall survival of their casualty. After this block, students will have a better understanding of bandaging. Students will learn how to secure an impaled object, dress an evisceration, and treat eye injuries during this block. Objectives: - Manage soft tissue injuries - Manage musculoskeletal injuries 3.6. Medical – Hypothermia: Non-traumatic hypothermia results in nearly a 20% fatality rate. When trauma is added to the equation fatality rates increase drastically. Students will gain an understanding on how to identify and manage hypothermia to offer casualties the best chance at surviving their injuries. Objectives: - Identify sources of heat loss in casualties - Describe steps to prevent hypothermia in casualties 3.7. Medical – Vitals and Documentation: Documentation is important and should be performed as time permits. Documenting injuries and vital signs will offer a quick reference point for medical providers to see what treatment, if any, has been given and to provide an overall picture as to the history and status of the casualty(s).

Special Operations Forces Tactical Tourniquet (one (1) for every four (4) students) 4 Vehicle Dynamics Learning Objectives: Students begin with vehicle dynamic exercises that are designed to enhance car control skills and awareness of interactions between the vehicle, driver, and operating environment. Use of vision and sensitivity to vehicle language (communication from the car to the driver) is stressed throughout the day. During vehicle dynamics training students build experience behind the wheel that will help them maintain control over their vehicle, predict outcomes, and act when necessary to improve those outcomes. These skills are applied to exercises such as “swerve to avoid” that increase students’ ability to avoid collisions. As training progresses the focus shifts from basic vehicle dynamics to solving security problems. The students learn to escape an ambush by both driving in reverse and ramming a vehicle (ramming may be simulated). This exercise now includes a familiarization on negotiating curbs. Students are instructed how to safely climb and descend a curb as a possible escape maneuver. The students learn to take over driving a vehicle from the passenger seat in the event the driver is incapacitated. The final exercises of the driver training block are scenario based. These scenarios (drive through, ramming, and reverse out) are designed to get the students to think about some common situations they may face if they are under attack. During barricade confrontations students are coached to maintain a high level of awareness, especially when entering a choke point. Students are trained to recognize the elements of an ambush to recognize an attack before it starts and to take immediate action. Security awareness will always be the key to successful performance in these final exercises. The FACT-E course utilizes three (3) practical exercise attack scenarios. Although a requesting agency does not have to duplicate the DS scenarios exactly, the scenarios must demonstrate the student’s ability to integrate skills learned in the FACT-E course. 4.1.
