In Phase 2, Tactical Field Care, it’s time to render medical aid.

You should initiate a rapid casualty assessment and render care based on your findings.

In TCCC, the treatment priorities follow the MARCH sequence. MARCH stands for:

- (M)assive Hemorrhage - Bleeding Control
- (A)irway
- (R)espiration/Breathing
- (C)irculation
- (H)ypothermia.

Once the MARCH priorities have been addressed, other injuries may be assessed and treated, including head injuries, eye trauma, fractures and burns.

MARCH is just not an acronym. These are the treatment priorities, with M always being the most important. This is not a linear process. If at any time massive bleeding is not controlled, go back to M.
