Founded in 1987, SOMA brings together the unique blend of pre-hospital, tactical, wilderness, austere, disaster and deployed medicine. Our primary goal is to advance the art and science of special operations medical care through the education and professional development of special operations medical providers. SOMA provides a forum for military and civilian medical providers, academia and industry from around the world to meet and exchange ideas in our Scientific Assembly, through our official publication, the Journal of Special Operations Medicine (JSOM). SOMA advances the science, technology and skills of unconventional medicine.

C-TECC was formed in 2010 to formally translate military trauma lessons learned into the civilian high threat prehospital community. The C-TECC is modelled after the highly successful Committee on Tactical Combat Casualty Care (CoTCCC) - frequently credited as one of the major initiatives that has resulted in the lowest combat mortality rates in recorded history. C-TECC brings together SME's from EMS, fire, law reinforcement and federal emergency bodies, as well as physicians from emergency departments, trauma centres and the military to develop evidence-based principles of high threat prehospital medicine. ATMA was proud to formalise the partnership in 2025. To find out more, visit the website of the Committee for Tactical Emergency Casualty Care.

ETMA is a European, non-profit organisation dedicated to advancing evidence-based tactical and high-threat medicine. ETMA brings together clinicians, operators, medics, responders, and experts from across Europe to share learning from real incidents, forensic insight, and survivor experience — supporting realistic education, improved inter-agency collaboration, and better outcomes at high-threat and mass-casualty events. ETMA works alongside established national and international tactical medical organisations such as ATMA, acting as a European-level platform to connect country-specific expertise, share learning, and support collective advancement across borders. ATMA is pleased to partner with ETMA in 2026 and looks forward to working together to share our common goals in tactical medicine.
