Special Operations Forces (SOF) Forward Trauma Management Set (FTMS) (USSOCOM)
Abstract
Evaluate rapidly deployable Medical Emergency Response Facility (MERF) modular equipment used to stabilize and sustain casualties with life saving trauma care for SOF operating in remote areas where casualty evacuation (CASEVAC) to a Level II or III medical facility is not available. The MERF subsystems are modular, resuscitative surgical intervention that is operationally adaptable vice operationally specific. The primary outputs and efficiencies to be demonstrated in the project are surgical care and trauma life support equal to tactical combat casualty care guidelines and within the capability of assigned SOF medical and non-medical personnel and to avoid Research, Development, Testing, and Evaluation (RDT&E), procurement, and operations and support costs worth $76.660 million.
