After many delays, caused by scheduling issues, life issues, natural disaster, war and the end of the world as we know it...I am proud to announce that we [Jamie Jackson, Ian McDevitt and myself] have finally gotten dates set for a 'tacmed' class.
The class will be a one-day affair held in Knoxville, TN on 9 April. It will provide a framework for understanding the Tactical Combat Casualty Care model and how it differs from EMS model. We will provide hands-on training in hemostatic control [stopping bleeding] using the modern combat dressings, tourniquets and QuikClot as well as treating other traumatic injuries.
The class is structured for nonmedical personnel and is aimed at dealing with problems in the 'Care Under Fire' stage and the beginnings of 'Tactical Field Care' to keep the injured parties alive until they can enter the EMS system.
Approximately 1/4 of the course time will be spent in lecture, 1/2 spent in hands-on application and & drill and 1/4 spent in live fire scenarios where the attendees will have to integrate their newly acquired medical skills into the overall event.
A DEPOSIT of $75 is required to hold your slot in this class.
DATE: Sunday 9 April 2006
LOC: Knoxville, TN
COST: $175

PHONE: 225.921.5900
As an added bonus, I will be teaching my Urban AK class on Saturday 8 April 2006, as well.
The Urban AK class is something I put together following my disappointment with what I was seeing as far as gunhandling with the AK series of weapons.
The focus of this class is on developing robust gunhandling with the AK platform. Each shooter will expend around 500 rounds of rifle ammo and 100 rounds of pistol ammo in this class and will leave with a dialed in methodology for running an AK. AKs are available for student use...
