use and amount of carried hemostatic dressings, providingcare in a helicopter, using the Hyfin® dressing,and antibiotic war wound therapy are part of the ATPstandard. Many wonder why this community wentaway from the National Registry of Emergency MedicalTechnicians Paramedic (NREMT-P) test as our interoperablestandard. This scenario is a great exampleas to the gap in what an EMT-P is trained to do versusan ATP. The ATP needs to make big decisions autonomously— NO MEDICAL CONTROL. He mightbe on a target for hours or days and then have an extendedevacuation. The SOF Interoperable Medic standardcovers this.There were no special or secret super-highspeedpieces of equipment or techniques used in thescenario above. The procedures done were all baselevel tasks for the ATP. It was his superior SOF Medictraining and decision making that got the job done, reducedmorbidity and mortality, and saved lives duringthis action.38 Journal of Special Operations Medicine Volume 8, Edition 2 / Spring 08
