A Casualty Collection Point (CCP) serves as a centralised and secure location for the treatment of casualties. The primary aim is to coordinate care efficiently, making use of all available resources to ensure that casualties are ready to return to action as quickly as possible. This involves crucial processes such as triage, coordination, and prioritisation, with the goal of enabling a unit to move without delays caused by waiting for individuals to recover.
Situations that might require immediate attention include scenarios where:
- medics are incapacitated
- leadership is compromised
- the CCP location lacks sufficient security
