Thank you!

Hi Josh, I'm not sure I understand your question (comment?)... can you explain a little more?

@@C3Pathways seems pretty self explanatory,no? Im not here to talk,it was just a thought!

I think there's a few options. CT2 could stop to assist, update Tactical and request another CT be sent to linkup with CT1. In other words, "We're not on our original task, send someone else to do that task." If the injured are located near the linkup point, and CT2 team is big enough, you could spread the team out and cover the injured and original task. Or, quickly move the injured to a CCP. If the injured are located too far from CT1 that you would lose sight and voice contact of the team members staying behind, you could split the CT2 team (assuming you have enough people). The challenge for Tactical becomes tracking two parts of the same team on completely different tasks. You could call them CT2-A and CT2-B, but that gets a bit clumsy. In the event of splitting, probably best to let Tactical know what's happening and split into CT2 and CT3. Overall, I would consider the task/assignment of the team, proximity of the team members to coordinate with each other, and your resources (both what you have on the CT2 team and what is or will be coming behind you). IMPORTANTLY, the CT2 team needs to ask, "Where are we on our priorities of 1. Active Threat, 2. Rescue, 3. Clear?" If there is active killing going on, then that is the priority over aid to the injured. If CT1 has reported suspect down, no active killing, etc., then assisting injured is the priority. Hope that helps!

@@C3Pathways thank you for your prompt, I formative reply! I hear you referencing Tactical; is that a police division under command? I come from the fire side, so I'm not familiar with that. Do you have an org chart that you could share? Thanks!

Happy to... see our Active Shooter Incident Management Checklist for the org chart, titles, and assignments at c3.cm/asc

It's our pleasure! We hope it helps.
