As a CMC, you are responsible for specialized first aid, triage, resuscitation, and stabilization, as well as casualty collection from the point of wounding and preparation of casualties for evacuation to a higher role of care.

In CUF, your role is to first suppress hostile fire like the CLS, but in TFC you assume the primary role for casualty assessment and treatment, following the TCCC Guidelines. In addition, manage and direct the casualty response system utilizing all available responders, providing guidance and direction to their activities. You are also responsible for preparing the casualties for evacuation.

In the TACEVAC phase, you are responsible for reassessing the casualties immediately before the arrival of the evacuation assets, communicating findings to the TACEVAC medical personnel, ensuring proper staging and supporting loading and securing of casualties on the evacuation platform.

All of these roles and responsibilities will be outlined in more detail over the remainder of the course.
