TCCC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care)

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is a set of guidelines designed to provide effective medical care to soldiers injured in combat. It emphasizes three essential phases: Care under Fire, which involves addressing life-threatening injuries while under gunfire; Tactical Field Care, where treatment occurs in a safer environment; and Casualty Evacuation, focusing on safely transporting the injured to advanced care. TCCC prioritizes actions that stop bleeding, manage airways, and prevent shock, allowing military personnel to deliver critical care efficiently in high-stress situations, ultimately improving survival rates for those wounded in combat.
