The need for periodic updates to the TCCC Guidelines was recognized early in the development of TCCC. The original TCCC paper recommended that the TCCC Guidelines be updated as needed by a Department of Defense-sponsored committee established for this purpose – the Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care, or CoTCCC. The TCCC Guidelines are reviewed quarterly and updated as needed by CoTCCC.

The guidelines are published in a few places; however, Deployed Medicine is the official website to get the most up-to-date TCCC materials. Even though it is a .com website, it is an official site owned and managed by the Department of Defense. As soon as TCCC Guideline updates are approved for distribution by the Director of the Joint Trauma System (JTS), they will be updated directly onto Deployed Medicine.
