How to save lives in combat

Commando operations is considered the supreme discipline of infantry operations. At the same time, the risk of injury in this type of operation is particularly high. The care of injured personnel during and after combat is structured by the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) concept. Procedures that are fast, simple, and reliable are crucial in this context.

The new reference book “Jagdkampf TCCC” (Combat TCCC) by Carsten DOMBROWSKI provides practical examples of how tactical medicine can be organized, prepared, and trained within a combat unit. The guiding principle: every life counts in combat.

“Jagdkampf TCCC” covers the following key topics, among others:

• Mission planning and preparation of medics
• Care for the wounded under combat conditions
• First aid in low-light conditions
• Transport and evacuation of the wounded from the battlefield
• Medical considerations in extreme cold and at high altitudes
• Cooperation with civilian medical infrastructure
• Dealing with the dead, wounded, and prisoners
• Specific exercise examples for TCCC in hunting combat

Author CARSTEN DOMBROWSKI has many years of experience as a medic and has written several standard works on tactical medicine. Building on basic procedures, in this volume he explains the practical implementation of TCCC under realistic and adverse operational conditions.

The book is published by SPARTANAT in the Black Book series. Other titles by the author in this series include “Tactical Medicine” and “In Danger”. Also available from us: the standard work “Tactical Casualty Care” by Carsten Dombrowski.
