About This Course

This 16-hour collaborative course, conducted over 2 days by Lions Defense and the Within Thin Lines Foundation, is tailored for shooters with intermediate to advanced skills. Students will dedicate half of the course to learning Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) and Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) concepts. These skills are essential to remain engaged and survive in critical situations. The latter part of the course focuses on applying medical skills through self-aid and buddy aid in the context of a deadly force encounter. All necessary medical training supplies will be provided.
