Proper documentation is the responsibility of all who render care, including Combat Lifesavers, Combat Medics and Corpsmen, and Combat Paramedics and Providers. The DD Form 1380 TCCC card is the DoD-approved form for official casualty care documentation of all findings and treatment (as outlined by the TCCC Guidelines) and must be completed on every casualty before handoff to another provider and/or evacuation to a medical treatment facility. It should be in each Service member’s JFAK, preferably with the demographic information filled out in advance, but extra copies should be found in CLS, CMC, and CPP kits, too.

Although the MEDEVAC Request card is not a standard part of the Army CLS, Combat Medic Aid bag, or CPP kits, some kits may also include a MEDEVAC request form or a blank template to assist in preparing and sending a MEDEVAC request. This is often dictated by unit procedures and based on the mission.
