NAEMT Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) Class Overview
The Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC) course, developed by the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT), is designed for first responders operating in civilian high-threat environments. TECC follows the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC) guidelines, adapting battlefield trauma principles to civilian scenarios such as active shooter incidents, natural disasters, and mass casualty events.
Course Objectives:
• Apply the MARCH assessment (Massive Hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Hypothermia/Head Injury) in tactical environments.
• Learn hemorrhage control techniques, including tourniquets, hemostatic agents, and wound packing.
• Practice airway and respiratory management under stress.
• Understand tactical patient movement and evacuation strategies.
• Work within the TECC phases of care:
• Direct Threat Care – Care provided while under an active threat.
• Indirect Threat Care – Treatment in a relatively safe environment.
• Evacuation Care – Transporting casualties to definitive care.
Who Should Take TECC?
• EMS providers (EMTs, paramedics, and firefighters).
• Law enforcement officers and tactical teams.
• Security personnel and other first responders.
• Anyone operating in high-threat civilian environments.
Course Details:
• Duration: Typically 16 hours (2 days), including classroom instruction and hands-on scenario-based training.
• Format: Lecture, skill stations, and realistic scenario simulations.
• Certification: NAEMT-issued TECC certification, recognized by emergency response and law enforcement agencies nationwide.
Why Take TECC?
TECC equips responders with critical skills to provide effective medical care in unpredictable, high-stress situations. This training improves survival rates for victims of violence, terrorism, and disasters while ensuring responder safety.
