The TCCC course is designed for military medics, corpsmen, and pararescuemen who are preparing to deploy in support of combat operations. Casualty care on the battlefield must be the best possible combination of good medicine and good small-unit tactics. 

The specifics of casualty care in the tactical setting will depend on the tactical situation, the injuries sustained by the casualty, the knowledge and skills of the first responder, and the medical equipment at hand. In contrast to a hospital Emergency Department setting where the patient IS the mission, on the battlefield, care of casualties sustained is only PART of the mission.

TCCC recognizes this fact and structures its guidelines to accomplish three primary goals: 

1. Treat the casualty 

2. Prevent additional casualties 

3. Complete the mission

The TCCC program was developed to customize the principles of good trauma care for successful use on the battlefield. 

TCCC divides the care into three distinct phases of care:

1. Care Under Fire

2. Tactical Field Care

3. Tactical Evacuation Care

THE SYLLABUS INCLUDES:

• Basic Anatomy and Physiology - The student will learn the basic underlying structures in the human body that will provide a base to build from.
• The Phases of Care - A standardized approach in caring for a casualty is taught so that the non-medical person can understand and apply life saving principles.
• Control of Major Bleeding - We will teach our client the most rapid way to control arterial bleeding. This is the "Number One Leading Preventable Cause of Death on the Battlefield".
• Airway - Learn how to protect the airway.
• Breathing - The "Second Leading Preventable Cause of Death on the Battlefield" is a tension pneumothorax. You will be able to recognize and treat this injury.
• Abdominal Trauma - Learn what you able to do to provide care for an injury in the abdominal region.
• Bandaging and Splinting - You will learn how to control non-life threatening bleeding and support underlying fractures, as well as open fractures.
• Head and Spine Trauma - In the out-of-the-hospital- setting, we will give you the training to care and manage this casualty.
• Eye Injuries - Our students learn how to treat an injury to the eye.

Each training program is specifically tailored to meet the client's needs. The TCCC guidelines are followed to ensure standard care is maintained. Material can be created for clients in need of training in topics that are not covered in the regular TCCC presentation.

The TCCC guidelines are published every 4 years in the Pre Hospital Trauma Life Support manual:
