To find a solution to an identified gap in medical care provided in combat situations, the 920th Rescue Wing's Aeromedical Staging Squadron developed the Tactical Medical Augmentation Team, an embedded medical team that will bring a new level of patient care directly to the battlefield.
This small, multi-capable, highly skilled, and adaptable team of medical personnel can use the wing's Personnel Recovery Task Force presentation to move higher levels of medical care further forward to wounded warriors and allow pararescuemen and specialty teams to remain closer to the battlespace.
"This capability increases pararescue's overall mission effectiveness and serves as a force multiplier for combatant and medical commanders in future conflicts," said Maj. Alexander Torres, TMAT team officer in charge. "It delivers advanced medical care further forward than previous capabilities."
