Keep serving — with sharper civilian skills.
Your military experience already taught composure under stress. IERRTA invites U.S. veterans to continue that service in civilian life: when danger comes, help neighbors more effectively, correctly, and scientifically — starting with a free awareness module on vehicle-crash first response.
Module: Vehicle Crash Scene — Civilian First Response & Scene Safety
Code: IERRTA-VET-VCR-01 · USAR-adjacent entry point (vehicle / machinery rescue awareness for bystanders)
Built for veterans who may arrive first at a roadway crash: size-up, traffic hazards, calling 911 clearly, life-threatening bleeding control concepts (aligned with public Stop the Bleed® themes), movement discipline, and a clean handoff to fire/EMS.
- Scene size-up before you become a second patient
- Communication that helps dispatch and arriving crews
- Bystander hemorrhage-control awareness (seek in-person practice)
- When not to pull someone from a vehicle
- References: ACS Stop the Bleed, AHA CPR pathways, FEMA/NHTSA awareness themes
Illustrations in the PDF are educational diagrams (not photos of real crashes).
