DAUPHIN TRUCK 88

Well as a standard we carry Glock 22 (40 cal), a Bushmaster AR (size and optics could be either a 16" with colapse. stock or a 20" heavy with a full stock and optics being a Reflex 2 for close in or thermal for distance and special circumstances) chemical and impact weapon of choice. As for any aux equipment or tools it would depend upon the team position and personnal preference.

From my experience with multiple teams across the US the medics must be qualified sworn officers to be armed and make any type of entry. With that said for the most part the team medics stay on the perimeter or at the main entry point and wait for an all clear before making entry with the exception of a officer down. In that case (if they are not armed) they are taken in by the door man if at all possible.

I have to agree with the PRPG and Bull in that it is all about trauma. You are there just to get them to a safe haven (hopefully to a waiting rig) and not there to treat anything that can not be done after a load and go or at least a tac movement to a safe haven. Its all about rapid assessment and treatment of trauma.
