Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is created by the
U.S. Department of Defense, Defense Health Agency, Joint
Trauma System (DHA-JTS) to teach evidence-based, lifesaving techniques and strategies for providing the best
trauma care on the battlefield.
The medical science upon which TCCC is based is published
in NAEMT's PHTLS Military textbook; the military chapters
are written by members of the Joint Trauma System
Committee on TCCC and other military medical experts.
NAEMT offers DHA-JTS TCCC courses through approved
NAEMT training centers. JTS TCCC courses offered by NAEMT
are endorsed by the American College of Surgeons.
Students who successfully complete the course receive a
certificate and a wallet card recognizing them as a TCCC
provider for 3 years.
