The deadline for current Recognized Educational Partners to renew is just over TWO WEEKS away on Friday, January 31. After the deadline, any current partners who have not submitted the required information (organizational information, content license agreement, and annual training report) and paid the annual royalty fee will be removed until these requirements are received. If your organization has not taken steps to renew yet, please do so by clicking the link below:

Renew Recognized Educational Partner Status

Please note, the C-TECC Finance Committee, with the approval of the Board of Directors, has increased the annual royalty fee to $125 for the 2025 cycle year. This increase is due to the lack of royalty fee in the 2024 cycle year due to the change in renewal period to reflect the calendar year as well as to assist the Committee in funding continued work on a variety of strategic planning initiatives. Waivers are still available to eligible organizations with exemption from the royalty fee, if approved.

Thank you for your support to the Committee and for continuously teaching TECC according to the Principles of Guidelines Education. If you have any questions or concerns, please reach out to the Committee.

If you are not a current partner but interested in becoming one, please visit our How to Apply webpage and follow the guidance there. New partners have different submission requirements than current ones.

The Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (C-TECC) offers its congratulations to Dr. Frank Butler, Jr. for his receipt of the prestigious Presidential Citizens Medal. This award is one of the highest honors a civilian can receive and recognizes Dr. Butler’s extraordinary contributions to battlefield trauma care and his enduring impact on both military and civilian medicine. Dr. Butler was a key advocate for the formation of C-TECC as the civilian counterpart to the Department of Defense CoTCCC and remained an important mentor to the organization as the C-TECC built what is now the civilian standard in high threat casualty care.

The following TECC Guidelines documents have been adopted as of November 2024:

GIVING TUESDAY 2024 updated
It is with great sadness that the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care shares the news of the tragic loss of a true pillar of the Tactical Medicine community. Michael Meoli was a former U.S. Navy SEAL and served nearly forty years as a firefighter and paramedic before retiring from San Diego Fire Rescue in 2018. Mike also supported the San Diego Police Department as a tactical paramedic for its SWAT Team and as an interventionist for its Crisis Intervention Team. Well known for his passion for advancing the field of TEMS, Mike spent many years developing guidelines and teaching the principles of casualty care in the high threat environment. Most recently, Mike was integral to teaching lifesaving skills to Ukrainian forces in their ongoing fight for freedom. He was in Ukraine when he died after sustaining critical injuries in a traffic accident in November 2024. C-TECC honors the memory of Mike Meoli for his decades of service, true patriotism, and passion for advancing the field of Tactical Medicine. Mike will always hold a special place in the hearts of those who knew him and had the honor of serving by his side. May he rest in peace.

After the deadline, any current partners who have not submitted the required information and paid the annual royalty fee will be removed as a partner until these requirements are received. Removed partners are no longer authorized to utilize C-TECC materials in their trainings nor display the partner logo on their materials.
