Casualty assessment and management in TFC follows a more deliberate approach known as MARCH PAWS:

- Massive bleeding
- Airway
- Respiration/breathing
- Circulation
- Hypothermia/Head Injuries

- Pain
- Antibiotics
- Wounds
- Splinting

This is a helpful pneumonic for remembering how to systematically approach casualty assessment and management, ensuring that life-threatening injuries are identified and treated promptly to save lives on the battlefield and reduce preventable combat deaths.

Keep in mind, even when you are in the TFC phase, it does not mean that the danger is over. The tactical situation could change back to CUF again at any time. CLSs must maintain security and situational awareness while continuing the assessment, treatment, and preparation of casualties for handoff to medical personnel/evacuation while remaining prepared to engage the enemy and continue the unit mission at any time.
