       Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC)
       This civilianized version of the US military’s Tactical Combat
       Casualty Care (TCCC) course teaches lessons learned in the war
       on terrorism in Iraq and Afghanistan. TECC is quickly becoming
       standard education for law enforcement personnel. Mercyhealth
       offers TECC as a regularly scheduled course for law enforcement
       and FD/EMS personnel in Janesville, WI.

       This 8-hour course covers topics designed to decrease
       preventable death in the tactical situation. Topics include
       hemorrhage control; surgical airway control and needle
       decompression; strategies for treating wounded responders in
       threatening environments; caring for pediatric patients; and
       techniques for dragging and carrying victims to safety.
       TECC delineates care for patients based on the situation and
       available resources, and is divided into three distinct phases.
       These phases have been well-proven by TCCC-trained military
       personnel:
       Direct threat care: Care that is rendered while under attack or
       in adverse conditions.
       Indirect threat care: Care that is rendered while the threat has
       been suppressed, but may resurface at any point.
       Evacuation: Care that is rendered while the casualty is being
       evacuated from the incident site.
       TECC focuses on medical care during these phases and provides
       guidelines for managing trauma in the civilian tactical or
       hazardous environment. While TECC has a tactical slant, it takes
       an all-hazards approach to providing care outside the normal
       operating conditions of most EMS agencies, such as responding to
       a mass casualty or active shooter event.
       TECC guidelines are a set of medical guidelines for use during
       high-threat operations where there is ongoing risk to both the
       patient and the provider. TECC training provides medical
       guidance for those who may find themselves taking care of the
       injured during hostile, non-permissive, high-threat incidents.
       Our TECC curriculum is developed from NAEMT’s Prehospital Trauma
       Life Support (PHTLS) Committee based on guidelines from the
       Committee on Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (Co-TECC) and the
       Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) program.
       Offered at Mercyhealth Prehospital and Emergency Services
       Center’s Tactical Training Center.  Mercyhealth's
       25,000-square-foot Tactical Training Center offers hands-on
       tactical training
       opportunities for first responders and includes a variety of
       scenarios for law enforcement, fire and EMS training—emergency
       department, office, movie theater, school, drug
       house, and church.
