Full Description
The U.S. Marine Corps Installation Pacific (MCIPAC) Regional Contracting Office (RCO), Camp Butler, Okinawa, Japan, has an upcoming requirement for live tissue training.

This training will provide sustainment, refinement, and enhancement of existing Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and Advanced Combat Tactical Trauma Care (AMT) skill sets.

This training is governed by the Training and Education Command (TECOM), which requires all vendors providing Live Tissue Training (LTT) to be officially approved.
