    It should be noted that TCCC is less about specific medical techniques and more about when they are applied and how a casualty is evacuated.

    As such TCCC assumes that the practitioner is going to have a support/logistics chain supporting his/her actions. In the civilian context this would mean EMS/Fire departments, Police/LEO/SWAT.

    If you're just an individual shooter looking to improve their skill-sets TCCC isn't really the class you need.

    I will be signing up for this class today (Mar 8-10 at West Point, VA class). Thought about it for a while as I'm squeezing my training budget a bit but updating my tc3 TTPs is definitely worth it. It seems like RB1 is getting in a lot of good stuff day 1 and 2 but day 3 really sold it for me. Theory and practice are fine but applying knowledge under simulated stress takes it up a notch. Looking forward to this one.


    Some background:

    I had a bit of tc3 training back in the day but never felt like I had actually learned anything other than how to apply a tourniquet and something about punching a 14 ga into a dudes chest to make him breath better. It wasn't until a couple of years ago that I finally received good tc3 instruction and it was eye opening for me. The instructors made all the difference and I assume that Jason and RB11 staff are going to exceed even that level. I can't even begin to tell you guys how much of a comfort it is to know how to respond to casualties.

    Even at my current, basic level of ability, the MARCH algorithm with continuous reassessment is drilled into my head. I look forward to bettering my abilities for myself and my future colleagues.

    This will be a great course to be held at our partner facility in West Point Virginia.

    We are really looking forward to this one, particularly the live fire on the third day. We will have the shoot house for some of the scenario based training also. Live fire extractions, care of casualties while under fire, performing life saving interventions while under fire and advanced life saving interventions performed after clearing and securing the scene. These scenarios will be set in environments where civil EMS are unable to respond and primary care will be up to you!


    Advanced Airway Lab during our last course!

    You might just need to save your buddy's life!!
