Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is developed by the U.S. Department of Defense Defense Health Agency (DHA) Joint Trauma System to teach evidence-based, life-saving techniques and strategies for providing the best trauma care on the battlefield.


NAEMT conducts TCCC courses as specified by the DHA-JTS. NAEMT currently offers three types of TCCC courses.

TCCC-MP (TCCC for #Medical Personnel) is a 16-hour course for military medical personnel including medics, corpsmen, and pararescue personnel deploying in support of combat operations.

TCCC-CLS (TCCC #Combat Lifesaver) is a 40-hour course for non-medical military personnel deploying in support of combat operations.

TCCC-ASM (TCCC All Service Members) is a 7-hour course for all service members.

The foundational medical science upon which TCCC is based is published in NAEMT’s PHTLS #Military textbook in which the military chapters are written by the Co-TCCC. TCCC courses offered by NAEMT are endorsed by the Joint Trauma System and the American College of Surgeons. NAEMT’s TCCC-MP and TCCC-CLS courses are accredited by CAPCE and recognized by NREMT.

NAEMT's TCCC courses are taught by a global network of experienced, well-trained instructors. To support training centers, instructors and students, NAEMT maintains a network of affiliate faculty both in the U.S. and internationally, and staff at its Headquarters Office.

NAEMT also offers Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) for civilian tactical EMS.
