Company officials say the multimedia instruction with Web-based distance learning offers the Fort Detrick, Md.-based Army TATRC, interactive training to support mission-critical government demands on Reserve medical units.

"As a proven leader in providing high performance team training services, DRC understands that the consequences of ineffective team performance in high- stress, high-stakes environments can be loss of life," James Regan, DRC chairman and chief executive officer, said in a statement.

"DRC is pleased to have the opportunity to extend our unique expertise in military and medical simulation training to support the U.S. Army TATRC's critical mission of improving healthcare for the warfighter on the frontline."
