TCCC, an acronym for Tactical Combat Casualty Care, is a system of medical guidelines developed for the treatment of medical emergencies in combat situations. It was created to provide military healthcare providers with the necessary skills to care for the wounded promptly and effectively on the battlefield, thus reducing mortality and complications.

The TCCC guidelines were developed jointly by the Tactical Medicine Committee of the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT) and the U.S. Army Surgeon General’s Office. This approach is based on practical experience and scientific evidence from real conflicts and combat situations.
The main features of TCCC include:

  • Prevalence of haemorrhagic injuries: TCCC focuses on managing bleeding since uncontrolled bleeding is the leading cause of preventable mortality in combat casualties.
  • Three-phase care: TCCC is based on three phases of care:
    a. “care under fire” (care during an ongoing firefight),
    b. “tactical field care” (procedures used directly in the field),
    c. “tactical evacuation care” (evacuation management).
    Each phase involves specific interventions based on the level of security and resource availability.
  • Action priorities: TCCC emphasizes the importance of acting quickly and stabilizing the patient’s condition before transferring them to a higher-level care facility. This may include the use of haemostatic dressings, tourniquet application, and airway management.
  • Appropriate resource utilization: Since medical resources can be limited on the battlefield, TCCC encourages targeted and appropriate use of available resources to maximize treatment effectiveness.

TCCC has been shown to improve the survival of combat casualties and has influenced the evolution of military medical procedures. Its guidelines have also been adopted by some civilian organizations for the treatment of high-impact emergencies, such as terrorist attacks or serious accidents with mass casualty situations.

    “RED TEAM” SERVICE

    The “Red Team” service is an advanced approach used to test the security of a company, both from a physical and digital perspective. The Red Team is composed of a group of cybersecurity experts and penetration specialists who simulate external or internal attackers to identify weaknesses in the security system.

    The Red Team focuses on a thorough analysis of the company’s security system vulnerabilities.
    This may include:

    • Intrusion testing of the company’s computer system
    • Analysis of network device vulnerabilities
    • Social engineering tests, phishing tests
    • Analysis of physical vulnerabilities, and much more

    The primary goal of the Red Team is to identify the limits and weaknesses in a company’s security system that could be exploited by potential attackers. This allows the company to take measures to enhance its security by strengthening the identified weaknesses.
    The Red Team collaborates with the company but operates as an external or internal attacker.

    Typically, the company provides only basic information to the Red Team so they can test the effectiveness of the security system without knowing all the details. This helps simulate a real attack and identify areas that require greater attention.

    After completing the tests, the Red Team will provide a detailed report to the company with the identified vulnerabilities, the techniques used to access them, and specific recommendations for improving security. This enables the company to implement corrective measures and enhance the protection of its security system.

    In summary, the Red Team service is a proactive activity that helps companies identify the limitations of their security system, both for physical access and the computer system.

    The result? A realistic and targeted assessment of vulnerabilities, allowing the company to strengthen its security and better protect its assets and sensitive data..

    PERSONAL PROTECTION SERVICES

    Personal protection services are dedicated to ensuring the security and well-being of an individual in potentially dangerous situations. This type of service is often requested by individuals in high-profile roles or those who may be exposed to significant risks due to their occupation or notoriety.

    A personal protection service encompasses a variety of measures to ensure an individual’s safety. Firstly, a detailed analysis of the specific risks the individual may face is conducted. This can include physical threats, cyber-attacks, stalking, or any other potential dangers.

    Based on this risk assessment, a personalized protection plan is developed. This plan can involve various components, such as physical escort, surveillance, protection of personal information, and communication management.

    • Close protection is an important part of a personal protection service.
      A team of trained and competent professionals can be assigned to the individual to ensure their safety. These professionals are responsible for accompanying the individual during their movements, ensuring that locations are secure before arrival, and responding promptly to any threats or emergency situations.
    • Surveillance is another essential component of personal protection services.
      This can include constant monitoring of the individual’s activities and movements, the installation of advanced security systems such as surveillance cameras or alarms, as well as the analysis of information to identify potential threats. A similar service is counter-surveillance, which aims to protect the individual or organization from possible unwanted or illegal surveillance activities. It is an activity designed to counter the efforts of monitoring and information gathering by third parties such as criminal organizations, business competitors, or stalkers. In this case, the counter-surveillance service can increase individual awareness of their own security.
    • Protecting personal information is crucial to prevent privacy breaches and cyberattacks.
      This may involve implementing security measures to safeguard the individual’s personal data, such as using antivirus software, educating them on cybersecurity practices, and implementing security protocols for digital communications.
    • Managing communications is an important aspect of ensuring the individual’s security.
      This can include assessing and protecting telephone communications, using encrypted systems for sensitive communications, and training the individual on how to handle emergency situations or potential threats.
