Organization Dedicated to Helping Military Hosts Luncheon

In 2005, George Manos co-founded THOR Executive Security Teams in New York City. Currently he works as the security firm’s president and oversees the company’s day-to-day management and business development. A charitable individual, George Manos supports several organizations, including Soldiers’, Sailors’, Marines’, Coast Guard, & Airman’s Club, Inc.

Rolling Stones Return to Their Roots with the “50 and Counting” Tour

George Manos has led the global security firm Thor Executive as president since 2005. In his free time, he is a longtime fan of the Rolling Stones, and he has not missed a tour since 1968. Most recently, George Manos had the opportunity to see them in late 2012 at Brooklyn’s Barclays Arena, an early stop on the Stones’ “50 and Counting” Tour.

As reviewed in Billboard magazine, the tour, which continued until July 2013, was stripped down, had minimal gimmicks, and featured the raw sound that made the Stones famous. The septet included the core unit of Keith Richards, Mick Jagger, Ron Wood, and Charlie Watts, augmented by Chuck Leavell and Daryl Jones.

A key transformation was that the band connected more with their roots in early rock ’n roll and the music of Chuck Berry. Particularly welcome among fans on the tour was the return of guitarist Mick Taylor, who had joined the band in the late 1960s following the death of Brian Jones and played on such classic albums as Let It Bleed. Taylor was featured in an extended jam with Wood and Richards on the bluesy classic “Midnight Rambler.”

Brief Overview of Tactical Combat Casualty Care

George Manos is presently the president and co-owner of THOR Executive Security Teams in New York City. Over the course of his career, George Manos has completed courses in both tactical combat casualty care (TCCC) and advanced combat medic (ACM) services.

Through the tactical combat casualty care course offered by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians, medical specialists and soldiers can receive evidence-based education on life-saving techniques to be used during live battle scenarios. A TCCC course is a comprehensive training program, although the course can be broken down into the various phases: treating casualties, preventing further casualties, and carrying out the mission at hand.

Similarly, the scenarios under which TCCC training can be carried out fall under three categories. Care under fire describes the provision of life-saving medical services while under the threat of hostile enemy fire. In these situations, TCCC training accounts for the fact that medical equipment is limited to whatever materials soldiers and medics have on their persons. Tactical field care occurs following the end of enemy fire, although care is still administered on the battlefield and medical support remains limited. Finally, tactical evaluation care begins as the casualty is evacuated from the field to a place where more advanced medical care can be provided.
