To Whom It May Concern:

This letter confirms that Special Operations Emergency Medical Technician (SO+EMT) is a sole-source program sold and executed exclusively by Ragged Edge Solutions, LLC. No division of Ragged Edge Solutions or any other company provides a similar or competing service. This service must be purchased directly from Ragged Edge Solutions at the address listed below. No agents or dealers are authorized to represent this service. Ragged Edge Solutions owns the copyright, trademark, and intellectual property for the content and curriculum being taught.

This course is a unique commercially available off the shelf (COTS) program that is scheduled throughout the year as open seating enrollment or can be provided as closed enrollment to individual units. The program is purpose built to deliver NREMT certifications, Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC), and Prolonged Casualty Care (PCC) education to military special operation units, Government organizations, and specialized civilian agencies that require EMT certification with additional medical skills and capabilities in order to operate in resource limited environments.

Ragged Edge Solutions is led by a team of former U.S. SOF medical personnel with extensive leadership, operational, and clinical backgrounds in special operations combat medicine as trauma surgeons, intensivists, physician assistants, trauma nurses, and SOF enlisted medical personnel. Throughout their careers, these personnel were instrumental in not only identifying gaps in existing battlefield medicine, but also in creating solutions which included the creation of, and the defining of the term, Prolonged Field Care (PFC); formation of the original Prolonged Field Care Working Group (PFCWG), Special Operations Forces Austere Critical Care Course (SOFACC), and Regional Support Medic (RSM) Course.

This readily available commercial off the shelf SO+EMT course is tailored to active duty Special Operations and exceeds the learning objectives and critical skills of the 1st SFC SOFACC Policy Letter. This program is turn-key and does not require government supervision or support in any way.
