    Three teams of four Airmen transport a simulated patient while receiving fire during a Tactical Combat Casualty Care training exercise at Scott Air Force Base, Ill., Dec. 4, 2014. The teams all made up Airmen from the 375th Air Mobility Wing and 932nd Airlift Wing Explosive Ordnance flights had four roles, a medic, medical assistant, a team leader and one security member. T-CCC is a set of lifesaving procedures developed in the late 1990s by special operations units to offer the best chance for injured troops to survive otherwise fatal wounds. T-CCC teaches those who first respond, in this case EOD techs, how to identify three major causes of potentially survivable battlefield injuries — hemorrhage, pneumothorax and blocked airway — and treat them aggressively.
