.What is TCCC and Why Do I Need to Learn about it??

    Military units that have trained all of their members in TCCC have documented the lowest incidence of preventable deaths among their casualties in the history of modern warfare.  TCCC is now used by all services in the U.S. Military and many allied nations as well to care for their combat wounded. TCCC-based prehospital trauma training is now becoming widespread in the US civilian sector as well.

Trauma Care:
Military vs Civilian

• Prehospital trauma care is very different in the military vs the civilian settings.

• TCCC was developed to address these differences.

• Military units that have trained all unit members in TCCC have achieved the lowest incidence of preventable combat deaths in history.

TCCC has now been made the standard for the US military and TCCC training is required for everyone in the Department of Defense
