About this file
This document is a Requirements Statement for a Canine (K9) Trauma Simulator dated 6.25.2026, issued by Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) to support Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training for military medical personnel.
The required product is a high-fidelity canine trauma simulator that realistically replicates Military Working Dog (MWD) anatomy, physiological responses, and handling characteristics. Physical requirements include accurate size and weight representation of an MWD, fully articulated joints for natural positioning during assessment and treatment, and palpable anatomical landmarks such as ribs, sternum, trachea, and vascular pathways to support landmark identification under stress conditions. Medical training capabilities must include airway management with endotracheal intubation capability consistent with canine anatomy, respiratory intervention via needle thoracentesis at appropriate anatomical sites, hemorrhage control featuring simulated arterial and venous bleeding wounds on limbs and junctional areas with controllable bleeding, and vascular access supporting intravenous catheterization using anatomically accurate vascular structures. The simulator must be provided with a ruggedized, impact-resistant and weather-resistant storage and transit case featuring internal padding or custom-cut foam, sized to securely house the simulator and all associated accessories, and designed to support repeated field transport suitable for training, deployment, and storage environments.

CANINE (K9) TRAUMA SIMULATOR REQUIREMENTS
6.25.2026
PURPOSE
Volk Field Combat Readiness Training Center (CRTC) requires a high-�idelity canine (K9) trauma simulator to support Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) training for military medical personnel.
The simulator will enable realistic point-of-injury treatment and tactical evacuation procedures for Military Working Dogs (MWDs).
GENERAL REQUIREMENT
The system must accurately replicate the anatomy, physiological responses, and handling characteristics of a Military Working Dog to ensure realistic training in trauma management, airway procedures, hemorrhage control, and evacuation techniques.
PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
The canine trauma simulator must meet the following physical requirements:
• Realistic MWD Representation: Must accurately resemble the size, weight, and external anatomy of a Military Working Dog to support realistic handling, lifting, and litter evacuation.
• Articulated Joints: Must include fully articulated joints that allow natural positioning during assessment, treatment, and transport.
• Palpable Anatomical Landmarks: Must provide realistic tactile structures including ribs, sternum, trachea, and vascular pathways to support accurate landmark identi�ication under stress.
MEDICAL TRAINING CAPABILITIES
The simulator must support the following medical interventions and training tasks:
• Airway Management: Must allow performance of endotracheal intubation consistent with canine airway anatomy.
• Respiratory Intervention: Must support needle thoracentesis (needle decompression) at appropriate anatomical sites.
• Hemorrhage Control: Must include simulated arterial and venous bleeding wounds located on limbs and junctional areas, with controllable bleeding for training purposes.
• Vascular Access: Must support intravenous (IV) catheterization using anatomically accurate vascular structures.
STORAGE / TRANSIT CASE REQUIREMENT STATEMENT
The canine trauma simulator shall be provided with a ruggedized storage and transit case designed to protect the device during transport, handling, and long-term storage. The case must be impact-resistant, weather-resistant, and sized to securely house the simulator and all associated accessories. It must include internal padding or custom-cut foam to prevent movement and damage during transit. The case must support repeated �ield transport and be suitable for use in training, deployment, and storage environments.
