Must See TV: "Tactical Combat Casualty Care Training"


     This is a great video. At over 3 hours, you will probably want to watch it over a period of a few days (I actually watched bits and pieces over about 4 or 5 days). The first 60% of the video covers the use of tourniquets (CAT and SOFTT), compression bandages and packing wounds. The rest of the video covers several topics, including a couple simple methods of clearing an airway, use of chest seals, some drills for shooting and applying tourniquets on yourself, and methods of moving casualties and tactical considerations (e.g., whether you should put down suppressive type fire while someone goes to the casualty or, if the injured person can move on their own, having them come to you). The video is mostly lecture and demonstration, but because this is a video of a class as it was being taught, you also get the benefit of questions asked by students, as well as the teachers correcting students if they were having problems or offering practical advice on related issues (such as how to sling your rifle when attempting to assist a casualty).
