4 RANGER
NATO SOF Med Course
The Ranger Regiment continues to pioneer and innovate immediate medical care on the battlefield. Within the last six months The Ranger Regiment reached NATO SOF accreditation standard, increasing opportunities for our Combat Medical Technicians (CMTs).
These unique and bespoke courses provide an invaluable training opportunity to foster innovation and network. Open to Ranger personnel only, these courses allow Ranger teams to deploy deeper, for longer and with more medical agency.
Concurrently, 4 RANGER and ASOB have established the first non-MAB Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Centre representing a significant step forward that empowers the Brigade and Battalion to develop new techniques and improve everyone’s base line medical ability. The courses come with increased funding, more kit and equipment, and novel
techniques all of which are unique to the Ranger Regiment. Soldiers that manage
to pass are awarded the NATO Special Operations Command Medical qualification which allows us to work alongside our NATO partners.
The networking aspects of the
courses have been invaluable. Students from various nations were able to forge professional relationships and establish contacts extending beyond the duration of these course. These have allowed for future cooperation, collaboration and information sharing. The mutual understanding developed ensures the same language is used on exercises on operations throughout the world thereby contributing to a stronger alliance.
As military forces across the world continue to adapt to emerging threats, the importance of collaboration and networking cannot be overstated. NATO

Maintaining the airway
SOF courses have undoubtedly played
a pivotal role in promoting these
critical elements, ensuring that military personnel are better prepared to face the challenges of today’s environment. The establishment of our TCCC center serves as a testament to the effectiveness of these courses and the enduring impact they have on improving the readiness and effectiveness of NATO member nations.
