Medic Level One

Raising the Bar for Tactical & Remote Medicine

When every second counts, having a prepared, competent medic in your team is not optional — it’s essential. TacMed’s Medic Level One (MLO) program is built to move a team member from “just first aid trained” into a capable, confident tactical medic ready to perform under pressure in austere, high-threat, remote, or mission-critical environments.

Why MLO Exists

Many remote operations, security teams, tactical units, and high-risk worksites face unique challenges:

• Injuries far from hospital support
• High-threat environments where standard EMS can’t immediately intervene
• Harsh terrain, limited gear, communication constraints

The MLO course bridges that gap. It gives your team a medically and operationally-aware practitioner who knows when to be tactically minded and when to be medically focussed.

What the Course Delivers

Over 5 full training days, MLO combines deep theory, aggressive realism, and high-fidelity scenario work to ensure graduates are ready for real-world pressure.

Participants gain more than just medical techniques — they earn:

• HLT21020 Certificate II in Medical Services First Response accreditation, Australia’s recognised benchmark in first aid capabilities
• Tactical medical mindset and decision skills
• Capability to deliver sustained casualty care in constrained settings
• Hands-on competence, leadership, and confidence under stress

Key Domains Covered

Domain	Topics & Skills
Tactical / Threat Care	TECC (Tactical Emergency Casualty Care) guidelines & adaptation to context
Remote & Austere Care	Mission planning, resource management, telemedicine concepts
Trauma & Injury Management	Haemorrhage control (tourniquets, junctional bleeding, wound packing), blast/ballistic injuries, burns, crush injuries
Assessment & Monitoring	MARCH rapid trauma assessments, vital signs, primary/secondary survey techniques
Advanced Resuscitation	Oxygen therapy, airway adjuncts, resuscitation in tactical settings
Movement & Extraction	Tactical movement of casualties, remote stretcher strategies, extrication planning
Extended Care & Team Integration	Prolonged field care introductory concepts, integration into team roles, stress management & debriefing

MLO is designed for people who already operate in—or intend to operate in—high-risk, remote, or operational settings. Ideal participants include:

• Tactical law enforcement & defence personnel
• Remote worksite medics or first responders
• Mine rescue, energy / resource sector safety teams
• Search & Rescue, fire / bush / wilderness operators
• Anyone wanting to elevate their first aid baseline to advanced tactical capability

Even if your team already has some medical training, MLO gives a mission-centric overlay — to think and act medically under tactical constraint.

What Sets MLO Apart

• Operationally grounded — not “hospital in the field,” but “medicine in constrained settings.”
• Instructor caliber — delivered by experienced clinicians, ex-military medics, remote paramedics, and subject matter experts.
• Accredited & compliant — combines tactical medical training with formally recognised Australian units of competency.
• Scenario-based realism — training under stress simulates real-world environments.
• Scalable & team-centric — designed so graduates can serve inside a team or independently.
