"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.
