On 15 and 16 December 2025, the military and civilian personnel of MPSOTC, within the framework of the ongoing and successful cooperation with the international training organization MEDUCATION (specialized in emergency pre-hospital care), participated in two certified training programs: “Basic Life Support (BLS)” and “First Field Care.”

  • Use of an Automated External Defibrillator (AED)
  • Recovery position and assessment of responsiveness/breathing
  • Management of choking/airway obstruction
  • Proper activation of emergency services and basic scene safety principles

Training Program 2: First Care in the Field

  • Introduction to Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) / Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)
  • Care Under Fire (CUF) / Direct Threat Care (DTC)
  • Tactical Field Care (TFC) / Indirect Threat Care (ITC)
  • Immediate management of bleeding and traumatic injuries
