628th Forward Resuscitation Surgical Team

The 628th Forward Resuscitation Surgical Team (FRST) is a highly specialized U.S. Army medical unit designed to provide life-saving surgical care close to the front lines. Established in response to the need for rapid trauma intervention in combat zones, the team is equipped to stabilize and treat critically wounded soldiers within the "golden hour." The 628th FRST is comprised of surgeons, nurses, and medics trained to operate in austere environments, ensuring swift and effective medical support during deployments. Their contributions have been vital in reducing battlefield mortality rates during recent conflicts, including operations in the Middle East and other global contingency missions.
