The Navy Hospital Corps is comprised of more than 30,000 active duty and reserve Hospital Corpsmen stationed at military treatment facilities, medical education institutions, clinics, hospitals and research units in the United States and various overseas locations. Hospital Corpsmen provide direct support to Navy and Marine Corps commands, squadrons, battalions and units. Hawaii-based Navy Hospital Corpsmen recently completed Tactical Combat Casualty Care Tier 3 (TCCC Tier 3) training at the Aloha Chapel on Joint Base Pearl Harbor-Hickam. TCCC Tier 3 is a 63-hour course spread across eight days that trains medical officers and U.S. Navy corpsmen to treat wounded military personnel in a combat environment, enhancing warfighting readiness. Hospital Corpsmen deploy in support of combat operations, disaster relief, and humanitarian assistance missions, providing the best care our nation can offer ashore and afloat.
