The Pararescue Medical Operations (PJ MED OPS) Handbook 8th edition forms the basis of medical practice during both Rescue Operations and training mishaps for USAF Pararescuemen (PJs). This revised handbook includes an outline of the Principles of PJ medicine and the patient assessment checklist. This approach to patients is slightly modified from traditional primary and secondary surveys to reflect a more efficient and comprehensive approach to combat trauma based on PJ experience and data from Overseas Contingency Operations. This handbook includes portions of the Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) guidelines and the ATP Tactical Medical Emergency Protocols (TMEPS) pertinent to Pararescue. The goal remains to have all PJs work to a single standard. The section on prolonged care has expanded based on PJ experiences

They are proficient at advanced medical procedures and basic medication administration. The skills in this handbook enhance the basics of Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC)

TThe US Army Medical Department developed the Standard Medical Operating Guidelines (SMOG) Handbook through a collaboration of Emergency Medicine professionals, experienced Flight Medics, Aeromedical Physician Assistants, Critical Care Nurses, and Flight Surgeons. The Joint Trauma System, Committee of en Route Combat Casualty Care, and the Committee of Tactical Combat Casualty Care shared a goal of ensuring excellent en route care that is standard across all evacuation and emergency medical pre-hospital units. This manual is the result of that effort and serves as a reference for physicians providing medical direction and clinical oversight to Critical Care Flight Paramedics.
Breakaway Media, LLC (BAM) is based in Oldsmar, Florida. It was established in 2011 to fulfill the need to continue to produce and publish the quarterly Journal of Special Operations Medicine (JSOM). BAM is owned by Michelle DuGuay Landers, Lt Col USAFR NC (Ret), the editor for the JSOM since its inception in 2000, when it was published under the auspices of the United States Special Operations Command. When the Department of Defense cut its budget in 2011, the JSOM, then in its 11th year of publication, was one of the casualties. Michelle established BAM as the new home for its feature publication, the JSOM, and the various medical protocol handbooks.
Since 2011, BAM has dramatically evolved, significantly enhancing marketing and sales efforts and meeting the increasingly complex text and clinical reference needs in the market. We are also working ahead of the technological curve by making the journals available as a digital flipbook that can be accessed and viewed on tablets and smartphones, as well as computers.
