*NEW* Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) Class

I finally figured out how to add TC3 to the schedule. I am simply going to add a TC3 class on the Friday prior to a number of the CRCD classes. This is voluntary and will have an added fee. You can attend it if you are on the CRCD that weekend, or you can just come for the day, stand alone class.

This will be a combat lifesaver class focusing on reality based application of TC3 in combat.  There will be some robust elements, and a little bit of casualty movement, but nothing gratuitous or for the sake of it. Trauma lanes involve dragging a casualty back into cover and then treating them.

HERE is the new TC3 Page.

Here is the content:

Max Velocity Tactical offers Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TC3) classes. These classes will be offered on the Friday prior to the scheduled Combat Rifle / Contact Drills (CRCD) Classes, where annotated in the Class Schedule.

This will be an approximate 8 hour period of instruction. There will be no live firing as part of the TC3 package. Instruction will focus on U.S. Army combat lifesaver TC3 prototcols. Training will take place at the MVT training site, in the pavilion schoolhouse and using the training area. It will be a ‘classroom’ based course of instruction with hands-on and ‘trauma lane’ drills.

For those booked on the CRCD class that weekend, the TC3 class fee will be an additional $50. The class is also open to those intending to attend just the TC3 portion on Fridays. – cost $100. CRCD alumni can attend any of the Friday classes at the $50 fee.
