The 374th Medical Group hosted American and Japanese medical professionals for a Tactical Combat Casualty Care Combat Medic Course at Yokota Air Base, Japan, Aug. 18-26. The weeklong course brought together Airmen from the 374th MDG, soldiers from the U.S. Army Medical Department Activity Japan, and medical personnel from the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force as well as the Japan Air Self-Defense Force. For the first time, thirteen JGSDF members trained alongside their JASDF counterparts at Yokota. The TCCC-CMC trains participants to provide more advanced prehospital casualty care than the All Service Members (ASM) or Combat Lifesaver (CLS) courses, including instruction on advanced medical equipment and the management of life-threatening battlefield injuries.
