An Airman assigned to the 39th Medical Group performs a surgical cricothyrotomy (a procedure that involves placing a tube through an incision in the windpipe to establish an airway for oxygenation and ventilation) during a Tactical Combat Casualty Care training course at Incirlik Air Base, Turkey, Dec. 4, 2021. During the exercise, explosive ordnance disposal and medical professionals were evaluated and certified on a series of tasks as part of Incirlik AB’s formal adoption of TCCC.TCCC is designed to provide early, life-sustaining medical care to wounded personnel and limit further causalities in order to achieve mission success. There are three phases of TCCC: care under fire, tactical field care and tactical evacuation care. TCCC was established by the U.S. Special Operations Command in 2002 and is now the accepted battlefield prehospital care. The Department of Defense has implemented the TCCC as the new medical practice across the military branches to replace the Self Aid Buddy Care system.
