Tactical Combat Casualty Care

The Emergency Medical Technician - Tactical (EMT-T) combined with Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC-3)Trauma Skills Sustainment is a unique educational experience that cannot be obtained without actually doing the procedures on individuals who have sustained traumatic life-threatening injuries posed by these threats. The purpose of this course is to provide prehospital emergency care first students (traditional and non-traditional) with a solid foundation in the philosophy and skills associated with tactical combat casualty care as they pertain to both military and civilian tactical environments.

The intent of our program is to force students already proficient at performing lifesaving procedures to conduct these procedures quicker and to a higher standard under simulated tactical scenarios which are more stressful, more challenging, and more austere than is available with conventional civilian prehospital emergency care training or experience. This course reinforces trauma skills that will allow them to perform with greater accuracy, skill, and confidence if faced with treating patients in a gambit of austere environments.
