Our Tactical Field Care (Stop The Bleed) course focuses on the basic fundamental treatment (tactical field care) of massive hemorrhage or the M in the acronym M.A.R.C.H. 90% of all combat casualties since post-9/11 have been due to Massive Hemorrhaging (MH). MH may occur on any of the upper or lower body extremities or along the upper or lower torso.

This course will teach you, in great detail on how to assess and treat an MH anywhere on the body, except for a few locations where treatment, as a first responder will be difficult with a tourniquet or would packing methods.

While most of the learning will happen in a classroom environment, most of the application will be conducted during live fire lanes, as demonstrated by the instructors.

Stop the bleed methods covered in this course are:

• First Aid Kits and contents
• Tourniquet options and application
• Wound packing and pressure dressing methods
• Chest seals (respiratory)

We will briefly discuss Airway, Circulation and Head injuries/hypothermia but we will not be teaching or applying these invasive methods during this course.

Land Navigation & Map Reading

In this online course, you will attend a Live presentation by Green Beret instructor Kawa Mawlayee teaching you the basics of land navigation, map reading, terrain interpretation, use of compass and protractor, pace counts and understanding magnetic and grid azimuths.

In today's world, the simple fundamental skills of survival have been replaced with smart technology devices.

• Who needs a map and compass when you have Google Maps on your phone?
• Who needs to learn how to change a tire when you have roadside assistance at the touch of a button?
• Why learn how to grow your own food when you have grocery stores that deliver to your doorstep?

But what happens when you have no connection to the world wide web, no electricity, no stores open to buy food? Only those who take the time to learn the basics of survival and how to live off the land, will have a fighting chance of staying alive and possibly thriving.

Learning how to interpret terrain and navigate across land confidently can save your life by getting you to a critical location or leading you to shelter or water (which will in turn lead you to animals and vegetation for sustenance). It can help you locate help or help you in your strategy to fight the good fight, while using terrain to your advantage.

After you take this online course with Kawa, you will have a strong understanding of what it means to read and use a map, protractor, compass and learn how to interpret and navigate land.

Upon completion of this course, graduates will receive a digital certification of completion.

Course pre-requisites

• Lensatic Compass (recommended: Cammenga). Must be lensatic military style, map compass, with "Degrees" scale.
• Map Protractor (recommended: Tradition Creek). Must be square protractor with 1:50,000 scale and degree scale.
• Topo Map local to your location (or near), 1:50,000 scale — free PDF download from the USGS store. Print it to scale: the map print size must match your protractor's 1:50,000 scale.

After registration, you'll receive an email closer to the event date, with a link to the course and instructions for login.

Active Citizen: The Art of Awareness and Readiness

In this online course, you will attend a Live presentation by Green Beret instructor Kawa Mawlayee teaching you what it means to become an Active Citizen. In today's world, as societal issues and divide increase tension in communities, so does the frequency of criminal activity. Criminals have become more emboldened by policies and programs put in place to favor them, not the average citizen. If this is the case, the average citizen must now adopt a lifestyle that is ready and willing to combat dangers and threats they may encounter in their everyday lives.

In this course we will cover the following topics:

• Understanding your Pattern of Life (POL)
• Understanding the cultures of environments
• Situational and Spatial Awareness
• Training in different areas
• Standard Operating Procedures
• Tactics, Techniques and Procedures
• Plans for Preparedness and Readiness

The only equipment you'll need for this presentation is something to take notes. We will cover a lot of information and this presentation will not be accessible afterwards.

Come join us for this online seminar and bring the whole family as well. This information is appropriate for all ages and it's good to get the young ones learning this early.

After registration, you'll receive an email closer to the event date, with a link to the course and instructions for login.
