Fieldcraft and judgement: the hidden structure behind good care.
The quiet disciplines that prevent avoidable chaos—planning, comms, movement, risk, and the ability to decide cleanly when time is hostile.
Judgement under stress
Decision cycles, attention control, and resisting bad certainty.
Navigation & time
Route choice, timing, and energy management.
Comms discipline
Brevity, clarity, and redundancy when systems fail.
Risk management
Threat, terrain, weather, and human factors.
Casualty movement
Pragmatic movement: drag, carry, vehicle, handover.
After-action
Debrief culture: learn fast, keep what works.
Fieldcraft is the infrastructure of good medicine: movement, comms, timing, and decision discipline.
- Planning: routes, kit, contingencies
- Execution: time, tempo, and control
- Team roles and minimal SOPs
- What to do when you’re wrong
Judgement is the real 'advanced skill'. We’ll treat it like a trainable capacity, not a personality trait.
- Heuristics vs bias: when each helps
- Decision points and abort criteria
- Information discipline (what matters now)
- Post-event learning loops
Expect concise frameworks, checklists, and scenario prompts—built to be printed, carried, and used as a pre-mission and post-mission tool.
- Simple risk matrix templates
- Comms and handover brevity cards
- Decision 'pause' drills
