Abstract
Since 2006, the Defence Medical Services (DMS) pre-hospital care focus has been the Medical Emergency Response Team
(MERT), which has enabled the projection of Damage Control Resuscitation (DCR) to the point of wounding as part of consultant-
delivered care. Now in a period of contingency operations, the Royal Navy (RN)’s Role 2 medical capability, Role 2 Afloat
(R2A) delivers DCR (including surgery) on a maritime platform. This article will focus on the development of the Maritime
MERT component of R2A (termed Maritime In Transit Care (MITC) in Maritime Medical Doctrine) and will discuss the requirements
based on experience of and preparation for an operation in 2016. Also discussed are the individual competencies and
training required to be part of the Maritime MERT; it is hoped that this will simulate debate around this evolving team.
