386th EMDG hosts joint coalition tactical combat casualty care course

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Elissa Gray, center, paramedic, 386th Expeditionary Medical Group, explains how to properly apply a tourniquet to control simulated massive bleeding to an Italian Army coalition partner, while Master Sgt. Jared O. Weese, right, services personnel, 386th Expeditionary Force Support Squadron, applies a tourniquet to Staff Sgt. Matthew Depodesta, firefighter, 386th Expeditionary Civil Engineer Squadron, during the joint coalition Tactical Combat Casualty Care course at a skating rink at Ali Al Salem Air Base, Kuwait, May 29, 2022. In the TCCC course, which replaced the Self-Aid Buddy Care course, U.S. service members and coalition partners practiced applying a tourniquet, wrapping a bandage and opening the airway by using the head tilt/chin-lift or jaw thrust maneuver. TCCC was designed to help lessen preventable combat deaths by providing proven trauma stabilization techniques, allowing for the wounded to survive long enough to receive life-saving treatment at a medical facility.
