Tactical Combat Casualty Care

Life-Saving Skills for High-Stress Environments

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 underscores the importance of trauma care provided on the battlefield, not only by medics but by the service members themselves. Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is a course designed to teach these life-saving techniques and strategies, ensuring that soldiers, police officers, and emergency responders are prepared to act decisively in the heat of the moment.

The TCCC course introduces evidence-based techniques that have been proven to increase survival rates by providing effective trauma care on the battlefield and in hostile environments. This success is particularly evident when combatants, not just medics, are trained in trauma care, allowing everyone on the team to play a critical role in casualty care.
