TECC Examination – Summarized Exam Details
The Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)
examination evaluates a candidate’s ability to provide life-
saving trauma care during civilian high-threat incidents

evidence-based trauma management principles adapted
from battlefield medicine into civilian emergency response
environments.

Chemical exposure awareness
Tactical casualty evacuation terminology
Incident command structure basics
, Rapid trauma assessment procedures
Medical equipment familiarization
Tactical communication terminology
TECC Examination Practice Questions (1–50)
1.
During an active violence incident, a responder notices
severe arterial bleeding from a victim’s thigh while gunfire
continues nearby. What should be prioritized
immediately?
A. Full spinal immobilization before movement
B. Immediate tourniquet application despite ongoing
threat
C. Detailed neurological examination before intervention
D. Intravenous fluid administration before evacuation
Answer: B
Rationale: In direct threat situations, immediate
hemorrhage control using a tourniquet takes priority
because uncontrolled extremity bleeding can cause rapid
death within minutes.
