Tactical Combat Casualty Care - Basic
Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) was developed by the Defense Health Agency in response to the massive amount - roughly 24% of combat related and 20% of civilian trauma deaths - which were potentially preventable if treated prior to medical personnel arriving on scene. TCCC - Basic is meant to prepare you as a first responder to intervene and stabilize a casualty before medical personnel arrive. You will learn the three phases of TCCC and the basic implementation of the MARCH algorithm and its associated medical interventions.
