This form allows for standardized and consistent documentation of prehospital care by the Military Departments for DoD MWDs for trauma and DNBI in operational environments. Instructions on the use of this card are provided in the Defense Health Agency Procedural Instruction (DHA-PI) 6040.47-V5, Implementation Guidance for the Utilization of DD Form 3073, K9 Tactical Combat Casualty Care (K9TCCC) Card.

The K9TCCC Card is filled out by the handler or provider who first attends to the canine’s injuries or DNBI. After medical treatment and resuscitation care is provided, the K9TCCC Card must stay with the canine when handed off to the next treatment facility to provide information regarding continuity of care.

At conclusion of care, the K9TCCC Card must be uploaded to the canine’s eVHR. The K9TCCC Card will also be emailed to dha.mwdtraumaregistry@health.mil for inclusion into the DoD MWDTR.
