Tactical Combat Casualty Care Under Fire

Taught by the Commonwealth Criminal Justice Academy Tactical Medical Training Cadre. This course will be taught using the SOCOM standard. (Military/Contractor Version). This course will be taught by current SOF Medics (18D / Ranger Medics) and Current High Threat Contractor and SWAT Medics with real world experience, all of whom are also State and or National Registry Certified EMT’S.  Each attendee will receive the TCCC course book and current RANGER MEDIC handbook.

This TCCC course is the companion course to PHTLS for the military.  Casualty care in this setting must be the best possible combination of good medicine and good small-unit tactics. The critical thinking skills of the individual as both a tactical operator and a medical provider must be brought into play. The specifics of casualty care in the tactical setting will depend on the tactical situation, the injuries sustained by the casualty, and the management of the trauma patient. Within this educational program is emphasis on the need to rely on critical thinking and a strong base of knowledge to modify the care of the patient as required by the situation, the condition of the patient, the knowledge and skill of the provider, and the resources available at the time the care is needed. This is otherwise known the “Art and Science” of trauma care.

1. Treat the Casualty
2. Prevent additional casualties
3. Complete the mission
