This evidence-based training covers the core fundamentals of the Tactical Combat Casualty Care 2nd Edition Provider course and reflects the casualty care lessons of nearly two decades of war and has the potential to significantly reduce preventable, prehospital trauma-related deaths. This content was designed for use in the Tactical Combat Casualty Care for All Service Members Course (TCCC ASM), and is intended for nonmedical personnel. The Joint Trauma System (JTS) establishes the standard of care for prehospital battlefield medicine for the Department of Defense. The JTS is part of the Defense Health Agency providing clinical practice guidelines and performance improvement for all levels of military trauma care.

The JTS is supported by the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) which is composed of representatives from across the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marines develops clinical practice guidelines for the delivery of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) on the battlefield. This course covers the following but is not limited to the following topics: Hemorrhage control including immediate action drills for tourniquet application throughout the course; Complete coverage of the MARCH assessment; Strategies for treating wounded responders in threatening environments; Caring for pediatric patients; and Techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety.

TECC – COMBAT LIFE SAVER

The Tactical Combat Casualty Care Combat Lifesaver (TCCC-CLS) Course Is an 40-hour course the provides the means to familiarize individuals with TCCC concepts and lifesaving skills to render medical aid to a trauma casualty. The CLS TCCC Course encompasses tactical trauma assessment, bleeding control interventions, airway and respiratory management techniques, rescue drag/carry techniques, prevention and treatment of shock, burns, eye injuries, splints, pain management, critical communication, and medical documentation practices. The TCCC skills have been proven safe and effective and can be performed by someone with no medical training.

The Tactical Combat Casualty Care Combat Lifesavers Course (TCCC-CLS) curriculum is developed by the Joint Trauma System, part of the Defense Health Agency. This course is intended to provide an intermediate step between the TCCC All Service Members Course (ASM) taught to all enlisted personnel and the advanced life support skills taught to Combat Medics and Corpsman. The idea is to ensure that in the absence of a combat medic or corpsman, the CLS will be able to replicate some (though not all) of the techniques for their squad until the patient(s) can be evacuated to definitive care (i.e. an aid station or field hospital) or a medic arrives to take over.

This 40-hour course has been planned over a five-day period. The first four days cover 20 modules of didactic materials and associated skills (with optional skills assessment opportunities) Day five concluding with a mass-casualty/active shooter Tactical Trauma Assessment (TTA). At the completion of this 40-hour course, student’s will be qualified at a TCCC basic proficiency level.

Tuition: $500

Class Duration: 40 Hours
