Casualty Care
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is created by the U.S. Department of Defense Committee on TCCC (Co-TCCC) to teach evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield.
Variations of the TCCC courses are now mandatory for every single deployable servicemember in the US Military, regardless of their combat or medical status.
What is Tactical Combat Casualty Care?
In the early 1990s, the US Special Operations Command (part of the Department of Defense) commissioned a study to evaluate battlefield treatments, and Captain Frank Butler, Lieutenant Colonel John Hagman, and Ensign George Butler published their results in the journal Military Medicine in 1996. The contents of the article, known as tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), propelled battlefield casualty management to new levels of effectiveness, helping to lower the fatality rate to the lowest on record.
These tactical principles are directly relevant to civilian tactical emergency medical services (TEMS). The core tenets of TCCC are to simultaneously treat the casualty, prevent additional casualties, and complete the mission. TCCC is organized into three distinct phases, with a unique priority of care assigned to each phase.
As of 16 March 2018, TCCC is the DoD standard of care for first responders (medical and non-medical) and the All Service Member TCCC course replaces Service trauma skills currently taught in first aid and self-aid buddy care courses. All Service members are to receive role based TCCC training and certification in accordance with the skill level appropriate to their training and deployment billet.
The training provided by our company is in full accordance with the TCCC guidelines, we teach how it was meant to be taught, according to the provider skill level. We do not deviate from the curriculum nor do we teach our own interpretation of the guidelines, making us a "type 1" TCCC provider
