Common questions
What does the CLS section cover?
All 20 modules of the TCCC Combat Lifesaver course, from Care Under Fire through MARCH PAWS to evacuation. Each module has a short study card, the steps for its hands-on skills, links to the official videos, and practice questions.
Where does the content come from?
The official TCCC-CLS curriculum the Defense Health Agency publishes on Deployed Medicine. Every point and question cites the module and page it came from, so you can open the official slide and check it.
Does finishing this make me CLS certified?
No. Certification comes from completing the course with a qualified trainer and passing its hands-on and written assessments. This is a study and refresher tool to use alongside the course and after it.
