The NTOA has designated the SOMA Scientific Assembly as its official TEMS conference. This partnership signifies both organizations’ commitment to providing medical support for tactical operations in military and nonmilitary settings.

SOMA is the only medical association in the world that brings together the unique blend of prehospital, tactical, wilderness, austere, disaster, and deployed medicine.

SOMA 2026 provides the opportunity for military and civilian medical providers, academia, and industry partners from around the world to meet and exchange ideas. It is the largest gathering of SOF medical providers in the world that includes U.S. military, foreign military, domestic tactical law enforcement, and tactical EMS providers.
