Principles and Applications of Tactical Field Care module has five cognitive learning objectives and one performance learning objective. The cognitive learning objectives are to identify:

  1. The importance of security and safety in Tactical Field Care
  2. Basic principles of removal/extraction of casualties from a unit-specific platform
  3. The importance and techniques of communicating casualty information with unit tactical leadership and/or medical personnel
  4. The relevant tactical and casualty data involved in communicating casualty information, and identify triage considerations in Tactical Field Care

The performance learning objective is to demonstrate communication of casualty information to tactical leadership and/or medical personnel (in accordance with Service and/or unit standard operating procedures in TFC).

It is critical to identify the importance of maintaining situational awareness during TFC, as the tactical situation is fluid and may revert to CUF at any time.
