During the first month of Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, TFA’s focused on evacuating civilians and providing humanitarian services to the refugee population. However, as ongoing drone and missile strikes on the infrastructure took out reliable hospital systems, it became clear that the civilian people of Ukraine would become their own first responders.

Task Force Antal created the Front Line Emergency Medical Training (FLEM).

The FLEM program is written by Tier One Operators with world-class medical and military backgrounds, the program arms civilian communities in active war zones with life-saving skills and supply donations. 

TFA delivers high level (Point of Injury) life-saving medical aid training for at-risk Ukrainian Civilians susceptible to indiscriminate Russian attacks. These are the folks that become first-responders while they wait for medical care to arrive. They must be capable of preventing loss of life, including in response to mass-casualty events.  

One FLEM team consists of 1 US SOF Veteran, 1 UA Linguist, 1 NATO SOF Veteran Partner, 1 Driver/admin support and can train 1,200 -1,500 Ukrainian civilians per month.
