Tactical Combat Casualty Care
TCCC-ASM (All Service Members - Tier 1)
This course is a 7-hour course for all service members teaching TCCC concepts and lifesaving skills to render basic medical aid to a trauma casualty.
The combat casualty care experience of the 75th Ranger Regiment in Operations Iraqi Freedom and Enduring Freedom demonstrated that many lifesaving interventions on the battlefield can be delivered by non-medical personnel, either in support of the combat medic or in his or her absence. Both the Ranger Regiment and the Canadian Armed Forces have identified their all-combatant TCCC training programs as key elements in their unprecedented success in reducing preventable death on the battlefield.
In acknowledgement of this fact, military medical leaders have requested that the Joint Trauma System develop a TCCC curriculum to train non-medical military personnel. Examples of included elements of care are such items as limb tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, nasopharyngeal airways, recognition of hemorrhagic shock, hypothermia prevention, oral antibiotics and analgesics, and eye shields. These topics are discussed in lay language insofar as possible.
Tactical Combat Casualty Care All Service Members (TCCC ASM) curriculum developed by the Joint Trauma System, part of the Defense Health Agency. It is intended to familiarize military personnel with TCCC concepts and basic lifesaving skills to ensure they are adequately prepared to render medical aid to a trauma casualty. Instruction includes basic hemorrhage control skills and recognition of more serious injuries.
Length: 7-16 hours
Audience: Non-medical military, non-tactical members, Law Enforcement, etc...
Tactical Combat Casualty Care
TCCC-Combat Lifesaver (TCCC CLS - Tier 2)
TCCC Combat Lifesaver (TCCC CLS) Tier 2 is a 40-hour course introduces evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield.
Tactical Combat Casualty Care Combat Lifesavers (TCCC CLS) curriculum developed by the Joint Trauma System, part of the Defense Health Agency. It is intended to familiarize military personnel with TCCC principles, concepts, and critical skills to ensure they are adequately prepared to render medical aid to a trauma casualty.
Instruction includes advanced skills needed to treat the most common causes of death on the battlefield, which are massive hemorrhage and airway/respiratory problems, as well as identification and treatment of other associated but not immediate life-threatening injuries. The idea is to ensure that in the absence of a combat medic or corpsman, the CLS will be able to replicate some (though not all) of the techniques for their squad until the patient(s) can be evacuated to definitive care (i.e. an aid station or field hospital) or a medic arrives to take over.
TCCC courses use the PHTLS Military textbook and are fully compliant with the Department of Defense’s Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) guidelines. It is the only TCCC course endorsed by the American College of Surgeons.
NAEMT’s TCCC course is accredited by the Continuing Education Coordinating Board for Emergency Medical Services (CECBEMS) and recognized by the National Registry of EMTs (NREMT).
Length: 40 hours

TCCC-CMC (TCCC Combat Medic/Corpsman - Tier 3)
BRING YOUR TACTICAL KIT Rifle & PISTOL (Weapon not required / optional) AND BE READY TO LEARN AND GET DIRTY!
The Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) course introduces evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield. NAEMT conducts TCCC courses under the auspices of its PHTLS program, the recognized world leader in prehospital trauma education.
TCCC courses are fully compliant with the Department of Defense’s Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) guidelines. It is the only TCCC course endorsed by the American College of Surgeons.
Tactical Combat Casualty Care Combat Medic/Corpsman (TCCC CMC) curriculum developed by the Joint Trauma System, part of the Defense Health Agency. This course is intended to equip CMCs to provide more advanced prehospital casualty care than was taught in the ASM or CLS courses. Instruction includes the use of advanced medical equipment and knowledge in the management of life-threatening injuries commonly encountered on the battlefield. The TCCC-MP (TCCC for Medical Personnel) course is designed for combat EMS/military personnel, including medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations.
Almost 90% of American service men and women who die from combat wounds do so before they arrive at a medical treatment facility. This figure highlights the importance of the trauma care provided on the battlefield by combat medics, corpsmen, PJs, and even the casualties themselves and their fellow combatants. With respect to the actual care provided by combat medics on the battlefield, however, J. S Maughon noted in his paper in Military Medicine in 1970 that little had changed in the preceding 100 years. In the interval between the publication of Maughon's paper and the United States’ invasion of Afghanistan in 2001, there was also little progress made. The war years, though, have seen many lifesaving advances in battlefield trauma care pioneered by the Joint Trauma System and the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care. These advances have dramatically increased casualty survival. This is especially true when all members of combat units – not just medics - are trained in Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC.)
We will be conducting a lung, airway, ballistic wound packing labs with many other hands on skill stations.
NAEMT’s TCCC course is is accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT.
