CACI International

About The Position

As a CACI Trauma Medic Instructor you will be located at one of several training sites on the African continent and responsible for supporting Marine Corps Forces Europe and Africa (MARFOREURAF). You will plan, instruct, and deliver operationally focused medical training to partner nation military in austere and deployed environments. You will conduct foundational and advanced medical instruction with an emphasis on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), hands-on practical application, and advanced trauma management aligned with current Joint Trauma System (JTS) and Committee on TCCC guidelines. You will develop and adapt curriculum to meet partner force capability levels, mission sets, and cultural considerations, while ensuring training is sustainable and interoperable with U.S Government. You will deliver classroom and field-based instruction covering topics such as hemorrhage control, airway and breathing management, shock recognition and treatment, trauma pharmacology, prolonged field care concepts, casualty movement and evacuation (CASEVAC/MEDEVAC), and trauma decision-making under stress. Training will emphasize scenario-based learning, live simulations, and skill validation through hands-on lanes, mass-casualty exercises, and combat-relevant medical scenarios. You will assess partner force performance, provide mentorship to Partner Force instructors, and support “train-the-trainer” programs to build long-term medical capacity. You will advise partner force leadership on medical training standards, equipment utilization, and best practices for point-of-injury care, while maintaining compliance with U.S. policy, host-nation requirements, and force protection measures. This role requires adaptability, instructional excellence, and the ability to operate independently or as part of a small team in dynamic, multinational environments.
