September 10, 2005: A two-member CMAT assessment team consisting of two advanced care paramedics from British Columbia have returned from Baton Rouge yesterday. The team was deployed by CMAT to assess the need for deployment of the Canadian Medical Assistance Teams’s Medical Response Team. After three days in the Area of Operations (AOO) and completion of an on-ground tactical assessment, it was determined that CMAT’s team of 13 advanced care physicians, trauma nurses and flight paramedics should not be deployed to the area.
