Course 21000 “Medical Combat Care in Maritime Operations”

From the 31st of March to 11th of April 2025, the Resident Course 21000 “Medical Combat Care in Maritime Operations” was conducted at the NMIOTC’s premises.

The goal of this course was to transfer knowledge and create & enhance trainees’ skills so as to provide pre-hospital emergency medical assistance from the point of injury in the mission/theatre until the final transfer to the closest Medical Treatment Facility is accomplished.

In this iteration, in collaboration with the U.S. 64 Medical Detachment Veterinary  Service Support, a pilot module pertaining to K9 TCCC was presented to students for the first time. The module received exceptional feedback, highlighting its significance and fostering high engagement.

In total, seventeen (17) participants from nine (9) Countries (Germany, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Malta, Poland, Singapore, Spain, and USA) attended the course. Training was delivered from Subject Matter Experts certified as NAEMT (National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians) instructors and augmenters specialized in extraction from confined spaces and prolonged field care.
