The **Tactical Emergency Medical Support: The Tactical Medical Handbook, 3rd Edition** serves as a foundational guide for establishing and operating a Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) unit at the local level. Originally developed for the Marietta, Georgia Special Weapons and Tactics Team and its TEMS unit formed in 2005, the manual has been revised to accommodate wider applicability as the field evolved.
This handbook is based on comprehensive research into civilian policies, military medical training protocols, and regulatory standards, including the State of Georgia’s Scope of Practice and the National Registry of Emergency Medical Technicians. It emphasizes the need for local TEMS units to customize policies and procedures in alignment with their Medical Director’s guidelines and local regulations.
The manual incorporates Tactical Medical Emergency Protocols developed by the U.S. Special Operations Command Surgeon General’s Office for military use and adapted for civilian settings. It also integrates principles from Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) and Tactical Emergency Casualty Care (TECC), drawing on resources such as the Ranger Medic Handbook and the USAF Pararescue Handbook to inform triage methods, treatment flow charts, and aid bag setups.
Designed as a starting point for discussion and development, this handbook provides a practical framework for TEMS units to build their own protocols and operational standards.
