Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS)
Tactical Emergency Medical Support (TEMS) refers to specialized medical care provided during high-risk situations, such as police operations or military missions. TEMS teams consist of trained paramedics or emergency medical technicians who work closely with law enforcement or military personnel to ensure that injured individuals, including team members and civilians, receive prompt medical attention in challenging environments. Their goal is to stabilize patients and facilitate safe transport to medical facilities, all while operating in potentially dangerous or uncertain conditions. TEMS emphasizes immediate care and collaboration in scenarios where traditional emergency services might not be able to operate effectively.
