Camp Taji Joint Operations Base, Taji, Iraq-Medical Services

At Camp Taji, Iraq, SOSi’s medical team provided direct medical services to a population at risk of more than 1,000 personnel and provided general medical support to the U.S. and Coalition Forces with an at-risk population of more than 3,000 military and contractor personnel. SOSi provided routine and trauma care to include Chief Medical Officer oversight and telemedicine capability with George Washington University Hospital, with access to over 50 medical sub-specialties.

SOSi conducted medical training and certification of civilian and military personnel for automated external defibrillator (AED), CPR, and combat lifesaving courses. SOSi stocked and maintained 30 mass casualty collection points and routinely worked with the U.S. military to rehearse mass casualty events.

Camp Taji was hit by 54 rockets over a 2-day period in March 2020. During the attack, three personnel were killed in action, 30 sustained injuries, and more than $2 million in damages occurred.  SOSi medical personnel on base worked with U.S. and Coalition military forces, relying on their preparation and training to efficiently triage, treat, and evacuate all casualties.

During the COVID-19 pandemic, SOSi’s medical team led all quarantine and isolation efforts at Camp Taji, significantly reducing the impact of COVID-19 on the population with early screening and monitoring efforts.
