Army Combat Trauma Care in 2035: A Workshop

Completed

The objective of this workshop is to maximize the probability that the warfighter can accomplish the mission, while surviving if injured as well as return to function as soon as possible.

Description

The theme of this workshop will be how the Army science and technology (S&T) community can better align its efforts in Tactical Combat Causality Care (TCCC) to maximize the probability that the warfighter can accomplish the mission, and if injured, can return to function as soon as possible. The timing for this workshop is timely. On March 16, 2018 DoD signed a policy to mandate the implementation of TCCC training. This policy is an important first step in ensuring that TCCC is the DoD standard of care for first responders (medical and non-medical) and is critical to the successful implementation of future life saving technologies currently in the early stages of S&T efforts. The workshop will focus on three framing topics: (1). What is the state of art and forecast to future the developments in bio-engineering and how can it provide for returning soldiers to the fight quicker? (2). What areas of TCCC in the Army can we improve now with transition of current S&T investments? and (3). What is the future of medically-related threats, risks, and status of preparedness for the U.S. Army in 2035?
