The Special Operations Resuscitation Team (SORT)

The Special Operations Resuscitation Team (SORT) is a specialized team that provides advanced medical support in tactical special operations situations, on land, at sea and in the air. This team consists of an emergency physician, an emergency nurse and a Special Operations Medical Technician (SOMT). Each has their own expertise that they bring to the field.

SORT is uniquely trained to operate in the most challenging environments and provide life-saving medical care under combat conditions. The team’s ability to quickly adapt and respond to diverse operational scenarios makes them an indispensable link in the success of special operations worldwide.

Their mission is to ensure that injured personnel receive the highest level of medical attention, often in remote, austere, and high-risk environments, bridging the gap between the point of injury and surgical care.
