This book was released on with total page 489 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: BACKGROUND IN 1996, THE NAVAL SPECIAL WARFARE COMMAND DEVELOPED A NEW SET OF TACTICALLY APPROPRIATE BATTLEFIELD TRAUMA CARE GUIDELINES NAMED TCCC. THE TCCC GUIDELINES WERE ADOPTED BY THE U.S. SPECIAL OPERATIONS COMMAND (USSOCOM) AND APPROVED BY THE AMERICAN COLLEGE OF SURGEONS (ACS) AND THE NATIONAL ASSOCIATION OF EMERGENCY MEDICAL TECHNICIANS. THE COMMITTEE ON TCCC WAS ESTABLISHED IN 2001 AND WAS DIRECTED TO FURTHER DEVELOP THE TCCC STANDARDS AND GUIDELINES. THE COMMITTEE ON TCCC FUNCTIONS AS A WORKING GROUP OF THE TRAUMA AND INJURY SUBCOMMITTEE OF THE DEFENSE HEALTH BOARD (DHB), WHICH HAS A CHARTER TO PROVIDE MEDICAL RECOMMENDATIONS TO ASD (HA) AND THE SERVICE SURGEONS GENERAL. TCCC CONCEPTS WERE INCORPORATED INTO THE 8404 CORPSMAN TRAINING CURRICULUM IN 2005. THE TCCC/CLS TRAINER COURSE WAS DEVELOPED IN 2006 TO PROVIDE CORPSMEN AS TRAINERS TO TEACH AND SUSTAIN TCCC STANDARDS TO CORPSMEN AND CLS SKILLS TO SELECTED MARINES WITHIN THE OPERATING FORCES. THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TCCC ACROSS ALL SERVICES HAS BEEN IDENTIFIED AS ONE OF THE CONTRIBUTING FACTORS TO THE HIGHEST COMBAT CASUALTY SURVIVAL RATES IN HISTORY AND IS RECOMMENDED BY ASD (HA) FOR USE WHEN TRAINING COMBAT MEDICAL PERSONNEL, REF B. TCCC INFORMATION IS PUBLISHED IN THE PREHOSPITAL TRAUMA LIFE SUPPORT MANUAL (PHTLS), MILITARY EDITION, WHICH IS UPDATED EVERY FOUR YEARS. DEPARTMENT OF DEFENSE (DOD) APPROVED TCCC TRAINING CURRICULA ARE UPDATED ON THE DOD WEBSITE MHS.OSD.MIL/EDUCATION AND TRAINING/TCCC.ASPX AS THE TCCC GUIDELINES CHANGE. GOAL. ELIMINATE PREVENTABLE LOSS OF LIFE ON THE BATTLEFIELD. IN ACCOMPLISHING THIS GOAL, THE MOST RECENT TCCC GUIDELINES APPROVED BY DOD ARE TO BE UTILIZED AS A MEANS OF PROVIDING STANDARDIZED TRAINING TO THE MARINE CORPS AND IMPROVING FIRST RESPONDER CARE AT THE POINT OF INJURY. HISTORY OF TCCC: a. It is important to realize that civilian trauma care in a non-tactical setting is dissimilar to trauma care in a combat environment. TCCC and CLS are an attempt to better prepare medical and non-medical personnel for the unique factors associated with combat trauma casualties. b. Historical data shows that 90% of combat wound fatalities die on the battlefield before reaching a military treatment facility. This fact illustrates the importance of first responder care at the point of injury. c. TCCC was originally a US Special Operations research project which was composed of trauma management guidelines focusing on casualty care at the point of injury. d. TCCC guidelines are currently used throughout the US Military and various allied countries. e. TCCC guidelines were first introduced in 1996 for use by Special Operations corpsmen, medics, and pararescue (PJs). f. The TCCC guidelines are currently endorsed by the American College of Surgeons, Committee on Trauma and the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians. The guidelines have been incorporated into the Prehospital Trauma Life Support (PHTLS) text since the 4th edition.

Book excerpt: "This report reviews what is known about forgetting as it applies to military tasks. It includes research conducted by the Army Research Institute as well as related work performed by the Air Force and Navy and leading academic institutions. The report distinguishes the memory for knowledge and skill related to procedural tasks, cognitive tasks, and perceptual-motor tasks. Memory for task knowledge has been demonstrated to be quite good. Memory for cognitive skills has been demonstrated to be quite good. Memory for psychomotor skills varies, depending on whether the task is continuous, such as riding a bicycle, or discrete, such as executing the separate performance steps involved in disassembling a rifle. Throughout the report, figures depict the relative sustainment or decay of a skill as reported in the research literature. A final section concerns the factors that influence the reacquisition of a skill after extended periods of nonuse, as might occur during a mobilization."--DTIC.

Download or read book Combat Lifesaver Course written by The Army Institute for Professional Development and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-27 with total page 212 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Combat Lifesaver Course: Student Self-Study (ISO871) contains information needed to pass the written, written performance, and performance examinations for combat lifesaver certification and recertification. All of the tasks contain important, lifesaving information. The Army battle doctrine was developed for a mobile and widely dispersed battlefield. The doctrine recognizes that battlefield constraints will limit the ability of trained medical personnel, including combat, to provide immediate, far-forward care. Therefore, a plan was developed to provide additional care to injured combat soldiers. The combat lifesaver is part of that plan. The combat lifesaver is a bridge between the self-aid/buddy-aid (first aid) training given all soldiers during basic training and the medical training given to the combat medic.

Foundational topics such as gross and radiographic anatomy, physiology, and pharmacology are covered.
