: Itamar Ashkenazi and Per Ortenwall are faculty members of the Medical Response to Major Incidents (MRMI) course that teaches students how to manage a mass casualty incident. The ideas conveyed by the authors are their own and do not represent what is taught in the MRMI course. Furthermore, both Itamar Ashkenazi and Per Ortenwall peer-reviewed some of the manuscripts that were eventually published in the focused issue on disaster and military surgery in August 2020. Other than that, the authors have no other conflicts of interest or competing interests to disclose.
: This manuscript is a review discussing six articles describing the TDSC® course recently accepted for publication in the European Journal of Trauma and Emergency Surgery. The manuscript does not describe a study involving human subjects and as such does not need authorization by a Research Ethics Committee.
