To require the Department of Defense to share best practices with, and offer training to, State and local first responders regarding how to most effectively aid victims who experience trauma-related injuries.

HR 849 requires the Department of Defense to share trauma-injury response best practices and provide specialized training to state and local first responders (such as police, EMTs, and firefighters). This directly affects frontline personnel who assist victims of traumatic incidents like accidents or violent events. The key provision mandates the DoD to develop and deliver this training, focusing on improving how responders aid trauma victims. The bill aims to standardize care through federal guidance without altering existing state or local protocols.
