Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Quick Reference Guide

Description

The Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) concept was developed in 1996 by special operations forces. Tactical Combat Casualty Care guidelines are evidence-based and battlefield-proven to reduce deaths at the point of injury (POI). TCCC teaches first responders to treat casualties in the proper order, treating the most critical situations first. This is done using the acronyms MARCH and PAWS.
