New Class Added: Combat Lifesaver: December 5-7

This is a new three day class based around how we teach Combat Lifesaver on the Texas Alumni Live Fire Class, run out of the Romney WV location. The class will consist of:

Friday: Formal instruction on the combat lifesaver protocol. This will be taught per TC3 guidelines (Tactical Combat Casualty Care) as taught in the U.S. Military.

Saturday & Sunday: Practical application in a simulated combat environment utilizing AirSim rifles. You will be conducting tactical missions on which casualties will be taken. You will deal with the casualty as per TC3 protocol and evacuate as per the scenario. This will be a stressful and immersive environment. Multiple scenarios will be conducted.

There is no prerequisite to attend this class.

Cost: $700. Deposit: $350.

  • Payment information is HERE.
  • Students will need to bring their own AirSim Rifle and protective gear. See this LINK for information.
  • Students will need to bring their own IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) and be prepared to use items.
  • There is a detailed forum post on the contents of an IFAK HERE which includes links to purchase.

At class, items such as Kerlix can be stuffed back into the packet and reused multiple times. A few of them would be useful. Items such as the decompression needle will be used on a simulated tension pneumothorax.
