NMIOTC instructor in SOFCOM Medical Instructor Development Course

From 14 to 18 April 2025, NMIOTC supported the SOF “Medical Instructor Development and Tactical Combat Casualty Care Instructor Course” with one (1) Subject Matter Expert (SME) as an instructor. The course was conducted in Riga, Latvia, and led by the Allied Special Operations Forces Command (NATO SOFCOM)’s Medical Mobile Training Team.

The training aimed to equip students with essential knowledge and skills related to SOF medical training, including requirements analysis, instructional design, skill acquisition in non-permissive environments, scenario-based training, and various debriefing techniques critical for SOF medical personnel.

NMIOTC remains at the forefront of NATO medical training excellence, being the first NATO Education and Training Facility (NETF) to receive certification from the National Association of Emergency Medical Technicians (NAEMT). As an Authorized NAEMT Training Centre, NMIOTC is qualified to deliver Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Courses.

Looking ahead, in November 2025, NMIOTC will conduct the second annual iteration of Course 21000 “Medical Combat Care in Maritime Operations”, followed later that month by Course 26000 “Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)/Combat Lifesaver (CLS) in Maritime Operations”.
