Tactical Combat Casualty Care - Combat Medic/Corpsman (Tier 3)
TCCC-ASM
TCCC-ASM is the foundational 7-hour Tier 1 course that every service member is required to complete. It covers the core life-saving interventions a non-medical service member needs to keep a casualty alive until a medic reaches them. No prior medical training required.
TCCC All Service Members is the entry-level Tier 1 course in the Department of Defense Tactical Combat Casualty Care framework. It is designed for every service member regardless of occupational specialty, establishing a baseline of life-saving knowledge across the entire force.
The 7-hour course is built around the reality that the person closest to a casualty in a combat environment is rarely a medic. TCCC-ASM gives every service member the skills to act in the first minutes after a traumatic injury, when immediate intervention has the highest impact on survival.
Skills taught include:
- Recognition of life-threatening hemorrhage
- Tourniquet application for extremity wounds
- Wound packing with hemostatic gauze
- Chest seal application for penetrating chest wounds
- Airway positioning and management
- Recognition and response to tension pneumothorax
- Casualty movement under fire
- Calling for and directing MEDEVAC
The course uses the TCCC three-phase framework as the structure for all decision-making: Care Under Fire, Tactical Field Care, and Tactical Evacuation Care.
TCCC-ASM is developed and maintained by the Joint Trauma System and is required training for all branches of the U.S. Armed Forces.
