In Phase 3 (TACEVAC), which activity is performed?

• A. Reassessing the scene
• B. Establishing evacuation point security
• C. Document care
• D. Return fire

Answer: (B)

Phase III of Tactical Casualty Care centers on moving casualties out to higher care while keeping the extraction area protected. The key action is establishing evacuation point security, creating a secure perimeter so medevac assets can approach safely and casualties can be loaded without interference or exposure to threats. Reassessing the scene is something that happens earlier as you transition from under-fire care to tactical field care. Documenting care and handing off information occurs as part of care processes, not the defining task of the evacuation phase. Returning fire belongs to dealing with threats during earlier phases; once you’ve reached the evacuation point, the priority is safety and a smooth extraction. Establishing evacuation point security directly enables a safe, orderly evacuation, which is why it’s the best answer.
