The Homeland Defense & Security Information Analysis Center (HDIAC) was asked to provide resources and trainings available for medics to perform in austere environments and conduct prolonged care. Military medical professionals must often provide prolonged care in austere environments that have a lack of resources and pose logistical challenges and potential dangers. Therefore, it is important for military medical personnel working in these environments to acquire skills outside the range of their normal needs.
HDIAC utilized its active technical inquiry services to gain information based on this topic from its database consisting of subject matter experts. This report gives a list of tools and resources to prepare medics working in austere environments for the greatest success. Each tool is listed in alphabetical order and categorized by resources, learning platforms and certificates, and simulators.
