Deployment Downloads
Pre-deployment checklists, cheat sheets and other resources now updated! Everything I am posting below could help anyone who finds themselves in both actual Prolonged Field Care situations and training events. Print the following forms and cheatsheets and get familiar with using them. These are the same things that I personally pack in my aidbags and pelican boxes along with many other SOF medics with whom we have worked and trained. It won’t take much effort but will pay dividends later if the shit hits the fan. Everything posted below is available on different parts of the site but I wanted to put all of this stuff in one place for you easily pick through. It may look like too much but I promise it will help, THE HARD WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BY YOUR OWN PEERS WHO HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY AND CONTRIBUTED TO THE SITE!

Hello Paul:
I know the next SOMA meeting is coming up in May. Just wondered if you could remind folks that the last print edition of the Special Operations Forces Medical Handbook (SOFMH) was published in 2008, and the last SOFMH DVD edition was published in 2010. Even though I have retired now, I try to keep up with changes in military medicine, and I know that some of our published SOFMH information is now out of date. SOF medics may not even need or use hard copies or DVDs anymore, but I just wanted to remind leadership that it is probably time for updated editions if they are still using books and DVDs. Thank you!
