Which action is NOT listed as a CUF treatment?

• A. Move and cover
• B. Remove from burning vehicles
• C. Tourniquets
• D. Triage

Answer: (D)

Care under fire focuses on life-saving actions that can be done without delaying movement to safety. The priorities are to move the casualty to cover, quickly address life-threatening bleeding (for example, applying a tourniquet), and, if possible without slowing you down, remove someone from imminent danger like a burning vehicle. Triage, on the other hand, is a broader assessment used to sort casualties for evacuation and longer-term care, often performed after you’ve reached safety or in a calmer phase. Because triage requires time and a pause to assess multiple injuries, it isn’t considered a CUF treatment.
