"Texans Serving Texans"

Welcome to the website for the Galveston Company of the Texas State Guard Medical Brigade (nicknamed "Texas Medical Rangers"). The Texas Medical Rangers are an unpaid medical volunteer portion of the Texas State Guard. The Texas Medical Rangers provide statewide surge capacity medical response.

About the Medical Brigade

In March 2003, the Texas Medical Brigade officially became part of the Texas Military Forces (under the Texas Adjutant General) at the express direction of the Governor of Texas, and is cosponsored by The University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and other state-supported health science centers.

The goal of the Medical Brigade is to respond to Texas public health emergencies including biological terrorism and natural epidemics. Its membership consists of trained, licensed and indemnified health professionals and medical support volunteers who train and prepare to support lead public health authorities with surge and specialized emergency skills. Texas Medical Rangers serve in team response and as individual cadre who assist and train other volunteers, augmenting the emergency response efforts of public health authorities.

The Medical Brigade expects to grow to over 1000 volunteers statewide with units to be located in Austin, College Station, Corpus Christi, Dallas, Edinburg, El Paso, Fort Worth, Galveston, Harlingen, Houston, Laredo, Lubbock, McAllen, San Antonio, Temple, Tyler, Victoria, and Waco. In addition to these cities, the Medical Brigade may establish a detachment or company in other cities or areas where 20 or more enlist and an element commander is selected and commissioned.
