The basic management plan for transition of care from TFC to TACEVAC is also outlined in the TCCC Guidelines,7 and involves five steps:

1. Tactical force personnel should establish evacuation point security and stage casualties for evacuation.
2. Tactical force personnel or the medic should communicate patient information and status to TACEVAC personnel as clearly as possible. The minimum information communicated should include stable or unstable, injuries identified, and treatments rendered.
3. TACEVAC personnel should stage casualties on evacuation platforms as required.
4. Secure casualties in the evacuation platform in accordance with unit policies, platform configurations and safety requirements.
5. TACEVAC medical personnel should re-assess casualties and re-evaluate all injuries and previous interventions.
