At what point is Tactical Field Care rendered?

Tactical Field Care is rendered after the casualty is no longer under effective hostile fire. At this stage, medical personnel can provide a higher level of care because the immediate threat of enemy fire has subsided. The primary focus during Tactical Field Care is to assess the casualty and provide necessary treatments that cannot be administered during the Care Under Fire phase, which is characterized by the need for urgent care while still exposed to danger.

In this environment, rescuers can take the time to quickly assess the situation, stabilize the casualty, manage their airway if necessary, control bleeding, and prepare for evacuation to a higher level of care. The distinction between Tactical Field Care and the other stages emphasizes the change in threat level and the consequent adjustment in the type of care that can be provided safely.
