TCCC Tier III Training

Performance Work Statement for Tactical Combat Casualty Care Training Course for Tier III 1.0 Background: The Defense Health Agency (DHA) TCCC curriculum for Combat Medics, Hospital Corpsmen, and Aerospace Medicine Technicians was developed by subject matter experts from across the Department of Defense serving on a work group chartered under the Office of the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs (OASD(HA)). It complies with the DoD requirement for all Service members to receive role based TCCC training and certification in accordance with their skill-level, as outlined in DoD Instruction 1322.24, “Medical Readiness Training,” dated March 16, 2018. Effective immediately, the aforementioned memorandum establishes Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) policy and training guidance for the Air Force Medical Service (AFMS). 2.0 Scope/Objective: Headquarters: Air Force Reserve Command (AFRC) requires a Firm Fixed Price (FFP) single award IDIQ with a base year and three, one-year options from August 2026 - August 2030 for TCCC Tier III training. The minimum will be 1 training event (initial award) for up to 110 personnel in the base year. Any other Task Order (TO) will be for 55- person training events. It is anticipated that following the first event, two 55-person training events may be held each calendar year, it may also be anticipated that two 55-person training events may be held at the same time requiring the facility to have capacity to train, care, feed and house up to 110 personnel at a time. This requirement provides Air Force reserve medical personnel with the necessary advanced medical training for future deployment. TCCC/Tier III standardizes instruction across the services to establish minimum training standards for the Tier III aspect of DHA TCCC training. It is vital that Medical Treatment Facilities (MTF) (to include Reserve and Guard Medical Units) and Line-units (Special Operations Forces (SOF), Squadron Medical Elements (SMEs), etc.) develop training and sustainment plans, which will allow Combat Medic Corpsman/Aerospace Medicine Technician (CMC-AMT) personnel to develop proficiency and mastery of Combat skills which, through evidence-based data, will reduce battlefield morbidity and mortality. 3.0 General Requirement: The contractor shall provide TCCC Tier III training services for the Combat Medic Corpsman – Aerospace Medicine Technician in accordance with DHA/NAEMT approved “Tier” curriculum.
