TACTICAL COMBAT CASUALTY CARE CARD corresponds to which form?

• A. Air Force Form 3830
• B. DD Form 602
• C. DD Form 1380
• D. Air Force Form 3899

Answer: (C)

The field documentation used in tactical casualty care is the DD Form 1380. This form, known as the Tactical Combat Casualty Card, is carried by medics in the field to record the casualty’s basic information and the lifesaving interventions performed during prehospital care and evacuation. It ensures a continuous medical record as the patient moves from the point of injury through evacuation and into facility care, so receiving clinicians know exactly what has been done and what remains urgent.

Other forms serve different purposes: the Air Force or DoD forms listed are used for administrative tasks or patient tagging in transport, not for documenting battlefield care on the card that travels with the casualty.
