The training flag is used alone or in combination with other props to disclose the casualty: During this phase the DCTT evaluates the emergency teams initial assessment of the casualty. Once the DCTT has observed enough actions it can move onto the next phase.

Phase Two: Engaged (Fight it)The training flag is used alone or in combination with other props to disclose the Engaged phase of the casualty: During this phase the DCTT evaluates the emergency teams actions to fight the casualty. Once the DCTT has observed enough actions it can move onto the next phase.

Phase Three: No (Monitor it)The training flag is used alone or in combination with other props to disclose the No phase of the casualty: During this phase the DCTT evaluates the emergency teams actions to monitor the casualty.
