A strategic advantage and strong firepower are crucial in any combat situation. But no matter what, lives are always at stake during a mission. It is important for first responders, paramedics, and military personnel to be equipped with practical knowledge and proper tactical medicine training to make split-second decisions while facing a critical threat in a dynamic environment.

Offering robust training and equipment to tactical medicine providers, SOARescue has positioned itself as a trusted partner for military and federal law enforcement agencies in need of skilled medical support in high-threat environments.

SOARescue’s flagship offerings include the Tactical Medical Practitioner and Extended Austere Provider programs, which address point-of-injury management in tactical settings. These courses go beyond standard Tactical Combat Casualty Care curricula, covering areas from pre-mission planning and medical risk assessment to providing care in high-threat environments. The Extended Austere Provider program is designed for prolonged casualty care where the next level of care may be days away. Whether it’s assessing a sprained ankle or treating a critically injured patient, trainees understand how to provide care as a member of an integrated tactical team or as the sole medical provider in an austere setting.

Covering the full spectrum of training programs based on real-life experiences, the team provides bespoke modules developed for specific operating environments and a wide range of equipment, from individual first-aid kits to entire load-outs for casualty evacuation.

“The courses are built with a genuine intent to develop skilled medical providers so people return home safely. The genesis of our programs is rooted in the first-hand experience that my business partner, Alan Elam, and I gathered during our careers in public safety and the military, respectively,” says Andrew Rowley, CEO of SOARescue. “We realized that most often, we are asked to perform tasks without being made to understand why we are doing what we are doing. So, we set out to address these gaps and offer a deeper understanding of the ‘why’ behind procedures.”

SOARescue prides itself on its value-centric solutions that empower trainees with the knowledge and tools to enhance their capabilities. When it comes to saving lives, there is nothing more valuable than products that deliver consistent performance. Achieving recognition and accreditation from the Commission on Accreditation for Prehospital Continuing Education, International Board of Specialty Certification, American Heart Association, and other accrediting bodies, the company meets and exceeds industry standards.

By leveraging the experience of its seasoned instructors and subject matter experts, SOARescue combines real-world experience with scholarly data, facilitating effective discussions and providing competency-based training. The team stands out by presenting an anecdotal and evidence-based approach and adhering to best practices. All SOARescue staff currently function in the roles they specialize in and stay abreast of the latest practices, ensuring the education delivered is relevant.

SOARescue was instrumental in meeting the needs of a federal law enforcement agency that wanted to enhance their operational medicine program. By understanding the agency’s current practices, future goals and leveraging its expertise, the company successfully improved the program to ensure competency-based training aligned with real-world scenarios.

Going beyond the military and law enforcement arena, SOARescue extends its offerings to civilians, firefighters, and other first responders so they learn life-saving medical actions. Driven by a mission to provide top-notch training along with robust life-saving gear, SOARescue continues to be a trailblazer in the industry, seamlessly integrating medical problems into tactical and scenario training.
