Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)
This program is offered by ACK3 to provide comprehensive training in battlefield medical response techniques, focusing on saving lives in combat situations. It is designed for military personnel, combat medics, and first responders to enhance their skills in providing immediate and effective medical care under fire.
What is the TCCC Course?
The Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Course is a specialized training program that aligns with the latest guidelines and practices for treating life-threatening injuries on the battlefield. It emphasizes the three phases of tactical care: Care Under Fire (CUF), Tactical Field Care (TFC), and Tactical Evacuation Care (TEC). The course is crucial for enhancing the survivability of wounded personnel in combat and operational settings.
Duration
The duration of the TCCC course typically ranges from a few days to a week, providing an intensive, hands-on learning experience. Training is conducted at ACK3’s state-of-the-art facility in Castilla-La-Mancha, equipped with simulation environments and medical training equipment to replicate combat scenarios.
