General instruction for Canine Trauma Combat Casualty Care Card
PURPOSE: The Canine Tactical Combat Casualty Care (cTCCC) card is for documenting a trauma or
disease non-battle injury (DNBI) at the point of injury anywhere a canine is deployed in support
of DoD operations. The cTCCC card will be filled out by the handler or provider who attends to
the canine’s trauma or DNBI. After medical treatment and resuscitation care is provided, the
cTCCC card can be handed off to the nearest veterinary treatment facility or supporting
veterinary unit to be scanned, uploaded and emailed to dog.consult@us.af.mil or the unit
providing care can email directly. Once the MWD Trauma Registry is online, the first veterinary
unit can input the information into the registry and scan the cTCCC card to upload into ROVR.
The cTCCC card becomes part of the canine’s permanent DoD medical record. For US Special
Operations Command (SOCOM) canines, the cTCCC card will be filled out and returned to the
handler or operator. The handler or operator will route the card to their respective veterinarian
to be inputted into the MWD Trauma Registry and the canine’s record.
