About this event
This Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) course is a two-day, hands-on class, offering Benjamin Guard certification in trauma response specifically designed for civilian application. Our curriculum has been tailored by operational instructors and adapted from NAEMT guidelines to make the information highly relevant for everyday real-life scenarios. This intensive training focuses on the MARCH algorithm—Massive hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, and Hypothermia/Head injury—equipping you with the skills to respond to trauma emergencies whether for self-care or aiding others.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn to assess and treat life-threatening injuries in a tactical setting, using both simulated scenarios and realistic tools. Instructors with extensive combat and medical experience will guide you through techniques to stop severe bleeding, secure airways, manage circulation, and prevent shock, preparing you to act effectively in the moments that matter most. This course is ideal for those who want to be ready for emergencies, especially in high-risk or remote environments.
