HISTORY AND DEPLOYMENTS

The GA-3 DMAT has had several deployments since it's inception in January 1991. These include: Hurricane Andrew 1992, Albany GA floods 1994, Hurricane Marilyn 1995, Olympics in Atlanta 1996, North Dakota floods 1997, Ice Storm in Upstate NY 1998, Hurricane George 1998, Hurricane Floyd 1999, NC floods 1999, NATO Summit in Wash D.C. 1999, Operation Provide Refuge for Kosovo Refugees at Fort Dix N.J. 1999, Nike World Games 1999, World Energy Conference 1999, Papal Visit to St. Louis MO 1998, Inauguration 2000, Houston TX Floods 2001, Terrorist Attacks on Wash D.C. and New York City 2001, and Haiti  2010.  Of course, there have been many more since then!

These include where team members were called for deployment individually as well as full team deployments.

The Team when deployed is 7-35 members made up of a cross section of the health care fields. These include but are not limited to Doctors, Physician Assistants, Nurse Practitioners, Nurses, Paramedics, EMT's, Communications Experts, Logistics Experts, Security Specialists, and Administrative Support Staff.

To field this many people we need to have a base of 3-4 times this many persons on our roster due to fluctuations in availability of our personnel. At the time of deployment, team members are sworn in and become temporary federal employees paid commensurate with their position. This also affords workers compensation and malpractice insurance for deployed team members.

The GA-3 DMAT has had a long and proud service to the people of the United States and will continue to provide the "Best Care Anywhere" to those in need into the next century.
