Advancing the practice of operational medicine.
From individual clinicians to enterprise programs, Ragged Edge Solutions develops the people, knowledge, and systems required to deliver sophisticated care in complex environments.
01
Institution
We helped establish the field. Now we are building what comes next.
Before prolonged field care was a recognized discipline, the founders and faculty behind RES were developing the doctrine, educational models, and practical methods that helped define it. That work continues in prolonged evacuation casualty care, austere clinical education, applied research, and institutional capability development.
Our work connects operational experience with academic rigor. Lessons from difficult environments become teachable systems, measurable performance, and better decisions under pressure. The standard is the same whether the student is one medic or an entire program.

Our work
Three lines of effort, one body of practice.
Education
Professional education
Curricula designed and taught by experienced practitioners, physicians, educators, and operational end users. Certificate courses, refreshers, and mobile training delivered on site or at RES facilities.
Research
Applied research
End-user evaluation, human performance research, and operationally relevant validation in high-fidelity environments. A device can work technically and still fail operationally. We test for the second case.
Development
Capability development
Advisory support, program design, and institutional solutions connecting doctrine, education, equipment, and execution.
- SME instructor support
- Consulting and program development
- Roleplayer and simulation support
- Mobile training teams

Education
Education shaped by the field. Built to change it.
Prolonged Evacuation Casualty Care
Operationalizes prolonged casualty care guidance into structured, scenario-driven instruction for military, government, and civilian prehospital professionals.
→
Special Operations Medicine
Team-based medical training for high-risk, austere environments. Builds individual and team readiness through adaptable instruction and mission-based exercises.
→
Special Operations Austere Medical Technician
Develops the medical capability of non-medical and non-SOCM personnel in Special Operations and conventional units, well beyond baseline first-response training.
→
Advanced clinical series
Focused modules in airway management, ventilation, transfusion, ultrasound, and pharmacology. Taken individually or as a progression.
→

Education Grindstone
Advanced medic modules open as standalone labs
Mechanical ventilation, whole blood and transfusion, operational ultrasound and advanced pharmacology, each available as a one to two day intensive or as a full progression.
Origins
Prolonged field care did not begin as a course. It began as a problem nobody owned.
RES has a history with the Prolonged Field Care Working Group, now the Prolonged Field Care Collective, and with the Joint Trauma System PFC Clinical Practice Guidelines that came out of it. The work since has been translation: turning guidelines written for the problem into training that holds up where the problem actually occurs.
That runs both directions. Courses generate operational feedback, the feedback goes back to the community and to the people maintaining the guidelines, and curricula are updated against what practitioners encounter rather than against the last version of the curriculum.
The Collective's podcast
A running record of how austere care practice actually changes.
Running since 2021, past six hundred episodes, for clinicians who have to deliver high quality care in a very austere location. Recent subjects include hemorrhagic shock, triage, Arctic trauma care, withdrawing interventions, and training local forces. It is where a good deal of the thinking behind RES curricula gets argued in public before it reaches a syllabus.
