Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)

Service Description

Developed by the U.S. Department of Defense Health Agency (DHA) Joint Trauma System to teach evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield. NAEMT conducts TCCC courses as specified by the DHA-JTS. NAEMT currently offers three types of TCCC courses. • TCCC-ASM (TCCC All Service Members – Tier 1) is a 7-hour course for all service members. • TCCC-CLS (TCCC Combat Lifesaver – Tier 2) is a 40-hour course for non-medical military personnel deploying in support of combat operations. • TCCC-CMC (TCCC Combat Medic/Corpsman – Tier 3) is a 63-hour course for military medical personnel including medics, corpsmen and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations. The foundational medical science upon which TCCC is based is published in NAEMT’s PHTLS Military textbook in which the military chapters are written by the Co-TCCC. TCCC courses offered by NAEMT are endorsed by the Joint Trauma System and the American College of Surgeons. NAEMT’s TCCC-MP and TCCC-CLS courses are accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT. NAEMT's TCCC courses are taught by a global network of experienced, well- trained instructors. To support training centers, instructors and students, NAEMT maintains a network of affiliate faculty both in the U.S. and internationally, and staff at its Headquarters Office.
