Tactical Management of Urban Warfare Casualties in Special Operations

ByParabellum Concepts

Usually printed in 3 - 5 business days
In the wake of the Battle of the Black Sea (Mogadishu, Somalia, 1993) the United States Military Special Operations community was reeling with several hard-learned lessons. One of which was the gaping holes in Special Operations medical protocol - holes which had, quite possibly, lead to the deaths of US servicemen in Mogadishu. Everyone agreed that the model needed to be updated, and a protocol of care unique to the tactical environment be developed. This book details a 1998 panel discussion between leading minds in Battlefield and Tactical Medicine, discussing scenarios, failures of past protocol and doctrine and suggesting new guidelines and protocols unique to the environment and separate from the civilian trauma care model. A predecessor to the famed Tactical Combat Casualty Care Guidelines, this document is a must have, both to gain a deeper understanding of the thoughts (and individual minds) behind the TCCC Guidelines and for the practical knowledge and wisdom it contains.
