02 · Professional education
RES education is developed by people who helped define prolonged field care, refined through global delivery, and taught by operational clinicians, physicians, and specialty instructors.
Flagship programs
Individual courses solve specific readiness requirements. Together they form a progression from immediate casualty care, through prolonged management, into advanced clinical practice and team execution.
Team-centric medical training covering TCCC, PCC, and irregular warfare medical critical tasks against JTS PFC Clinical Practice Guidelines. Medic and non-medic curricula run simultaneously and converge in a tailorable full mission profile exercise. Delivered at the RES MERC with SOF physician mentors and specialty instructors.
→
Translates prolonged casualty care doctrine into executable capability through expert-guided labs, clinical decision-making, and sustained casualty management scenarios. Days one to three are didactics, practicals, and hands-on labs. Day four is a full mission profile field exercise with trained role players and patient-worn task trainers.
→
A 64-hour NAEMT-certified advanced TCCC course for military medics, corpsmen, and tactical medical providers. Delivered with live role players, professional moulage, and mission-driven scenarios. Covers the full TCCC-CMC domain from hemorrhage control and airway management through CCP operations, tactical evacuation, and medical planning.
→
What comes after TCCC. A three-phase program taking non-medical team members from NREMT certification, through TCCC and operational clinical medicine, into the prolonged evacuation casualty care phase. Graduates support team medics and function independently as austere medical technicians.
→
Grindstone advanced medic modules
Each module runs as a standalone one to two day specialty lab, or combines into a structured advanced medic course.
Device-agnostic ventilator training for the prehospital and prolonged care environment. Respiratory physiology, waveform interpretation, ventilator-patient interaction, and austere troubleshooting. Understanding over memorization. Compatible with SAVE II, Sparrow, and similar platforms.
Collection, storage, logistics, and administration, with the decision-making that resource-limited environments demand. Monitoring, complication management, and field-expedient damage control resuscitation.
Applied point-of-care ultrasound across eFAST, lung, and vascular access. Image acquisition and interpretation integrated into real-time patient assessment rather than demonstrated as a standalone skill.
Clinical reasoning-focused pharmacology for operational providers. Medication selection and prioritization, dosing under constraint, and prolonged care considerations where conventional support is unavailable.
05
A one to two week proctored trauma rotation at UNC's Level 1 trauma center through the Carolina Medic program, UNC's military-civilian partnership. The capstone of the Grindstone progression, layering real patient care onto module-based training.

Sustainment and support
Surgical teams
Team training for forward surgical capability, where surgery, anesthesia, and nursing have to function as one team under resource constraint and prolonged evacuation. Built around scenario-driven simulation and team performance rather than discipline-specific instruction, with live tissue and cadaver lab where the requirement calls for it.
Training support
Full-spectrum medical training support for unit-led exercises and tailored requirements. Professional moulage, trained medical role players, and embedded instructor support that raises realism and takes planning burden off unit cadre. For higher-fidelity requirements, RES designs and executes full mission profile exercises integrating sustained casualty management across extended timelines and multiple movement platforms.
The RES knowledge loop
01
SOF, conventional, government, and civilian teams expose the real problems.
02
Training creates a structured environment to identify gaps and capture feedback.
03
Curricula, devices, techniques, and research questions are tested against operational reality.
04
Lessons move back to the community through RES, PFCare.org, conferences, publications, and partner networks.
Build the right program
Open enrollment, unit-hosted delivery, custom curricula, and full exercise support. Registration runs through the RES course portal; program inquiries go to info@raggededgesolutions.com.
