Special Operations Forces (SOF) Forward Trauma Management Set (Special Operations Command)
Abstract
This comparative test project will evaluate a deployable Level III surgical care and trauma life support that will stabilize and sustain casualties with life saving trauma care for SOF operating in remote areas where casualty evacuation is not available. The forward trauma management set is a modular, resuscitative surgical intervention that is operationally adaptable vice operationally specific. User assessment testing will be completed in three worldwide operational areas: Central Command, Africa Command, and Pacific Command. The primary outputs and efficiencies are as follows: resuscitative surgical care and trauma life support equal to tactical combat casualty care guidelines; within capability of assigned SOF medical and non-medical personnel; self contained rapidly deployable by C-130/C-17 aircraft; sustainable in remote harsh environments. RDT&E cost avoidance is $2.100 million. Procurement cost avoidance at $3.100 million. Operational and Support cost avoidance is $71.460 million. Completion date is scheduled for September 2011.
