The Committee on Surgical Combat Casualty Care (CoSCCC) is a component of the Joint Trauma System (JTS) Defense Committee on Trauma. The CoSCCC will guide best practices in trauma care to eliminate preventable death and reduce morbidity. The CoSCCC will develop guidelines, recommendations, and educational priorities as well as prioritize research gaps to ensure optimal full-spectrum surgical care of combat casualties injured in any environment. Recommendations from the CoSCCC will be published through the Director, DHA, the Service Surgeons General, the Joint Staff, and the Combatant Commands.
