DoD Requirements

CMC training is conducted In Accordance With (IAW) Department of Defense Instruction (DoDI) 1322.24.

 

DoDI 1322.24 establishes the following DoD requirements:

All Service members (officer and enlisted) will complete appropriate role-based (i.e., All Service Members, combat lifesaver, combat medic/hospital corpsman/aerospace medicine technician, combat paramedic/provider) TCCC training and certification as outlined in the JTS’s TCCC skills list. TCCC certification may be categorized as either an initial certification or recertification. Units will record all assigned Service member and DoD-EC TCCC certifications (initial and recertification) in Service-designated training tracking systems.

 

Army Requirements

The Army has not issued an ALARACT for conducting Tier 3 CMC training.

 

This training is intended for initial certification but can be modified for refresher training.

 Initial training or a refresher course will be conducted during pre-deployment training. The course content from Deployed Medicine website https://deployedmedicine.com/market/299 will be used at a minimum. Additional course content can be added based on the units METL and the operational environment.

 Prerequisites

ALL CMC Students MUST:

All CMC trainers MUST:

 

Tracking Training and Course Completion Credit

Units will record all assigned Service member and DoD-EC TCCC certifications (initial and recertification) in Digital Training Management System (DTMS). There is no DTMS code for Tier 3 training currently.

 

Training Frequency

Training frequency for Service members and DoD-EC completing the TCCC All Service Member course is at the discretion of the Military Service, with the stipulation that certification be completed prior to deployment. Training frequency for Service members and DoD-EC completing the TCCC combat lifesaver, TCCC combat medic/hospital corpsman/aerospace medicine technician, or TCCC combat paramedic/provider course follows these guidelines:

 

(1) All active Component Service members and some DoD-EC personnel as defined by job or unit, will complete TCCC recertification at least every 3 years following initial certification and within 12 months of deployment. For personnel who deploy more than once during a 12-month period, certification in TCCC remains current if completed within 12 months of the most recent deployment date.  (DoDI 1322.24 Requirement)

MEDIC Tables must be completed on a biennial basis. (TC 8-800)

CMC Initial and Recertification Training

Training on CMC skills using the current, standardized curriculums developed by the JTS, DHA at the appropriate interval (every three years) after a Service member or DoD-EC initially certifies in TCCC. (DoDI 1322.24 Requirement)

CMC Refresher Training

CMC refresher courses are a supplement to CMC certification courses. CMC refresher courses are designed to ensure proficiency on TCCC skills and may be tailored to individual Service mission requirements. Completion of CMC refresher training does not certify a Service member in TCCC and will not be recorded as such in Service-designated training tracking systems. (DoDI 1322.24 Requirement)
