The purpose of Military Active Violence Preparedness Training is to educate base commanders, military leadership, assigned personnel, support staff and other installation employees regarding researched-based, proactive measures that can be organizationally adopted and implemented. This program is designed to supplement current "Lock-down" or "Secure-in-Place" procedures presently used throughout much of the country.
Tragic events have dictated the need for enhanced response options to increase chances of surviving a horrific event. Topics covered during the mobile training team course include policy and procedures review, infrastructure design, proactive use of technology, community resource assistance, mass evacuations and trauma first-aid. The course’s final exercise consists of practical scenarios designed to experience, visualize and reinforce the main concepts.
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)
Introduces evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield. TCCC courses are conducted under the auspices of the Joint Trauma System, part of the Defense Health Agency, and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, recognized world leaders in prehospital trauma education.
In order to best meet the needs of the armed forces per mandated directive DODI 1322.24, TCCC is presently broken into four tiers:
Note: Currently, only tiers one through three are published through the Defense Health Agency. The TCCC-For Medical Professionals Course presently meets DoD standards.
TCCC courses are fully compliant with the Department of Defense’s Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) guidelines. They are the only TCCC courses endorsed by the Joint Trauma System, Defense Health Agency, National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, and the American College of Surgeons.
Tier One: All Service Members Course
Core TCCC skill-level curriculum and training that is not based on occupation and that provides fundamental, life-saving trauma management skills used by all Service members and DoD-EC in the pre-hospital setting. The TCCC All Service Member course is designed for use in Service initial entry programs and for training the majority of personnel throughout the DoD, with the exception of individuals requiring advanced training in additional TCCC skills based upon their occupational specialty or designation as a combat lifesaver. The TCCC for All Service Members level is a new category of responder mandated by DODI 1322.24. This level of TCCC skills is customized for a military individual who is not anticipated to be serving in deployed combat settings.
Tier Two: TCCC Combat Life Saver Course
Tactical Combat Casualty Care Combat Lifesavers Course (TCCC CLS) curriculum developed by the Joint Trauma System, part of the Defense Health Agency. This course is intended to provide an intermediate step between the TCCC All Service Members Course (ASM) taught to all enlisted personnel and the advanced life support skills taught to Combat Medics and Corpsman. The idea is to ensure that in the absence of a combat medic or corpsman, the CLS will be able to replicate some (though not all) of the techniques for their squad until the patient(s) can be evacuated to definitive care (i.e., an aid station or field hospital) or a medic arrives to take over. The tier two TCCC- Combat Life Saver course is typically offered to the MILITARY ONLY It covers up to 40 hours of basic instruction.
Tier Three: TCCC Combat Medic/Corpsman Course
TCCC combat medic/hospital corpsman/aerospace medicine technician. TCCC skill-level curriculum and training developed for U.S. Army combat medics, U.S. Navy hospital corpsmen, and U.S. Air Force aerospace medicine technicians. TCCC combat paramedic/provider. TCCC skill-level curriculum and training developed for personnel whose expeditionary scope of practice requires training on advanced trauma management skills exceeding those taught in TCCC combat medic/hospital corpsman/aerospace medicine technician training. TCCC combat paramedic/provider represents the DoD’s most advanced TCCC pre-hospital trauma course. Targeted specialties include, but are not limited to, physicians, physician assistants, advanced practice nurses, independent duty corpsmen, independent duty medical technicians, pararescue jumpers, special forces medical sergeants, and occupational specialties requiring certification as a paramedic or as designated by the Military Service.
Tier Four: Combat Paramedic/Provider Course
Note: The Combat Paramedic/Provider Course will be provided by ICSAVE upon Defense Health Agency Completion. Until that time, the TCCC for Medical Personnel Course has been designated equivalency training. The TCCC-MP (TCCC for Medical Personnel) course is designed for combat EMS/military personnel, including medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations. The TCCC-MP (TCCC for Medical Personnel) course is designed for combat EMS/military personnel, including medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations.
Bleeding Control for the Injured (B-Con)
In September of 2014, NAEMT announced a new education course to teach civilians evidence-based, life-saving bleeding control techniques shown to dramatically increase casualty survival. Called “Bleeding Control for the Injured,” aka “B-Con,” this course was developed in response to the Hartford Consensus led by Dr. Lenworth Jacobs, and at the request of Dr. Norman McSwain, who served as a member of the Hartford Consensus working group.
B-Con teaches participants the basic life-saving medical interventions, including bleeding control with a tourniquet, bleeding control with gauze packs or topical hemostatic agents, and opening an airway to allow a casualty to breathe. The course is designed for NON tactical law enforcement officers, firefighters, security personnel, teachers and other civilians requiring this basic training. B-Con is consistent with the recommendations of the Hartford Consensus on Improving Survival from Active Shooter Events.
NAEMT partners on this and all other trauma initiatives with the American College of Surgeons (ACS). Recently, ACS launched a new website, bleedingcontrol.org that includes a new instructor portal for the B-Con course. This new portal houses all of the B-Con course materials, and will allow B-Con courses to be registered so that ACS and NAEMT can track our progress in training the public in basic bleeding control. There is no cost to use this portal, to access the course materials, or to register courses.
All NAEMT instructors are invited and encouraged to register as a B-Con instructor with ACS. For more information on the national bleeding control initiative, please visit www.bleedingcontrol.org.

I LIVED – Active Violence Response Course
This six-hour course is designed to educate the public on how they can mitigate the loss of life if they find themselves in a violent intruder incident. The goals of I LIVED training are for participants to recognize the need for immediate response to these types of incidents, recognize ways they may intervene, and empower them to make a difference in the event.
I Whether we act as an individual, family, congregation, workplace team or other group we can mitigate loss of life through training and practice. Our goal for participants is to be able to say I LIVED if they ever find themselves in an attack.
Lockdown- There are two types of lockdowns - a soft lockdown (sometimes referred to as a lockout) or hard lockdown utilizing barricading techniques to secure doors and windows. Lockdown techniques are used to isolate the intruder from those they seek to harm.
Information- Information is received through our senses. Whether it is first- hand auditory, visual, or odors, or passed on to us secondhand our senses alert us to danger. We must then convey this danger to others by sharing the information we have with others.
Vary- People tend to adopt routines, using the same entrances and exits to their houses of worship, workplaces, stores, and other places they frequent. It is important to learn to alter routines, explore different options, and look for other ways we can use objects in our environment.
Evade- There are times when physical escape may be possible, but avoidance of the intruder remains critically important. Evasion requires using all available information to make a decision and avoid the attacker.
Defend- Having a survival mindset and being prepared to physically respond to an attacker are personal choices that are emphasized throughout this course.

Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE)
In the past two decades, horrific mass shootings have been thrust into public consciousness. Mitigating the effects of these events is the responsibility of those who serve in our communities' public safety organizations. The public expects an effective and swift response to these threats. Research has shown, however, that many of the mass attacks, or active attack events, are over before law enforcement responders arrive on the scene.
Civilians who find themselves embroiled in such an event must be prepared to take immediate action to save their own lives before law enforcement arrives. The average response time for police response to an active attack event is three minutes. Without effective, preplanned response options for civilians at the scene of the attack, many victims can be seriously injured or killed during these three minutes.
The Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) course, designed and built on the Avoid, Deny, Defend (ADD) strategy developed by ALERRT in 2004, provides strategies, guidance and a proven plan for surviving an active shooter event. Topics include the history and prevalence of active shooter events, civilian response options, medical issues, and considerations for conducting drills.
