TCCC integrates the use of tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, needle thoracostomy, strategic airway positioning, surgical airways for maxillofacial trauma, tactically appropriate fluid resuscitation, and scenario-based training. These practices were employed in an arctic environment, ensuring proficient care and response in extreme conditions. Arctic Edge 2024 is a U.S. Northern Command-led homeland defense exercise demonstrating the U.S. military’s capabilities in extreme cold weather, joint force readiness, and U.S. military commitment to mutual strategic security interests in the arctic region.
