Which phase focuses on evacuation in Tactical Combat Casualty Care?

• A. Care Under Fire
• B. Tactical Field Care
• C. Tactical Evacuation Care
• D. Medical Stabilization

Answer: (C)

Tactical Evacuation Care is the phase where the focus shifts to getting the casualty out of danger and moving them to higher medical care. In this phase, the priority is arranging and executing evacuation, preparing the patient for transport, and ensuring they remain stable during movement. Care is tailored to the transport method (medevac or ground evac), with continued monitoring and any interventions feasible during evacuation, followed by a proper handover at the receiving facility. The other phases address care under threat or on-scene treatment before evacuation becomes possible, so they’re about stabilizing and managing injuries in different threat levels rather than the actual evacuation process.
