Proper documentation is the responsibility of combat lifesavers as well as combat medics and corpsmen. The DD Form 1380 TCCC card is the DoD-approved form for official casualty care documentation of all assessments 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 and CMC kits, too.

Although the 9-line MEDEVAC card is not a standard part of the Army CLS or Combat Medic Aid bag, some kits may also include a MEDEVAC request form or a blank template to assist in preparing and sending a 9-line MEDEVAC request. This is often dictated by unit procedures and based on the mission.
