I-33 Kit:

Tactical Combat Casualty Care was originally developed for Special Operations Forces in 1996 by US Navy Capt (Ret.) Frank Butler and Lt. Col. (Ret.) John Hagmann. A review and analysis of the literature and historical medical data from the Vietnam War, the Korean War and World War II, the sole goal of TCCC is to decrease preventable combat death at the point of wounding.

 TCCC is derived through the military where strategies were studied based on historical wounding patterns in combat which appeared to also bear relevance to operators of tactical law enforcement. Consequently, recommended treatments were tourniquet application for bleeding extremity wounds, needle decompression for tension pnemothoraces, nasopharyngeal airway placement for airway obstructions and surgical cricothyrotomy for airway obstruction secondary to maxillofacial trauma. 

Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) is the only standard of care dually endorsed by both the American College of Surgeons, and the National Association of EMT’s for casualty management in a tactical environment.
