Combat medics, Navy corpsmen, and Air Force aerospace medical technicians earn National Registry certification in the schoolhouse — then hit the operational force, where recertification hours are their problem to solve. Units lose certified medics not because they can’t do the job, but because the continuing-education pipeline to sustain the credential doesn’t reach them. Civilian paramedics in rural South Texas face the same wall: the hours exist online, but hands-on, relevant, high-quality CE is scarce.
DEVGRPTAC bridges that gap. Our NAEMT courses carry CAPCE accreditation — continuing education the National Registry accepts — and they aren’t death-by-PowerPoint. Medics earn their recertification hours doing tourniquet conversions, surgical airways, and prolonged-casualty-care scenarios: training that sustains the credential and the combat skill at the same time.
Nationally Registered Paramedics recertify every two years under the National Continued Competency Program — 60 total hours across three components:
| Component | Hours | What Counts |
|---|---|---|
| National (NCCR) | 30 (50%) | Evidence-based topics set by the National Registry — hemorrhage control, airway, ventilation, trauma triage, and more |
| Local / State (LCCR) | 15 (25%) | State, regional, or agency-defined topics — protocols, specialization, QA/QI focus areas |
| Individual (ICCR) | 15 (25%) | EMS-related continuing education of the provider’s choosing |
Component topic mappings follow the National Registry’s current NCCP model (updated April 2025). DEVGRPTAC provides course completion documentation with CAPCE credit detail so providers and training NCOs can log hours correctly. Providers remain responsible for their state’s specific requirements.
A single CMC course delivers a substantial block of CAPCE-accredited hours spanning hemorrhage control, airway management, ventilation, shock, and trauma content — the same clinical domains at the heart of the paramedic National Component.
Sixteen CAPCE credits in threat-based casualty care — directly relevant CE for both military medics and civilian paramedics supporting tactical or high-threat response roles.
Extended-care competencies — ventilation management, nursing-level casualty care, telemedicine — that map to national and individual component needs while preparing medics for delayed-evacuation reality.
We build unit-level sustainment plans: map each medic’s expiration dates, schedule courses across the two-year cycle, and deliver documentation ready for National Registry submission — so training NCOs stop chasing hours one medic at a time.
San Antonio is military medicine’s center of gravity — home to the Medical Education and Training Campus (METC), where the Department of Defense trains its enlisted medical force, and to Brooke Army Medical Center. DEVGRPTAC operates from Helotes, in the greater San Antonio area, minutes from JBSA, with mobile training teams covering South Texas and deploying nationwide.
