What Ragged Edge Solutions does

Ragged Edge Solutions (RES) is a privately held, combat-veteran-founded medical training and research firm headquartered in Greenville, North Carolina (also listed in Kinston, NC), that delivers prolonged field care (PFC) and special operations medicine training to U.S. and allied military special operations units, government agencies, and selected civilian prehospital professionals. Founded in 2016 and led by CEO Roger Dail, the firm operates with a small core team (1-10 employees) and offers five proprietary certificate programs — PECC (Prolonged Evacuation Casualty Care), Dark+Woods (Special Operations Medicine), SO+AMT (Special Operations Austere Medical Technician), TCCC-CMC (Tactical Combat Casualty Care — Combat Medical Casualties), and Transfusion Fundamentals (Battlefield Blood) — plus the TBI Navigator mobile application. Cumulative outputs include 400+ executed projects and 900+ Advanced Emergency Care (AEC) certifications issued.

Revenue is generated almost entirely through professional services: quote-based, needs-assessment-driven training engagements delivered either by mobile training teams dispatched to client locations (domestic and international) or at scheduled U.S. training facilities, with course registration managed through Corsizio and ancillary merchandise sold through a Shopify storefront. Pricing is contact-based and not publicly disclosed. The company's technology stack extends beyond instructor-led curricula into a software/prototype layer, including a Predictive Patient Situational Awareness platform co-developed with Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory and the TBI Navigator app — both positioning RES as a federally funded R&D touchpoint (CCCRP, MTEC, TATRC, USAMMDA) as much as a training vendor.

Strategic R&D is executed through a dense partnership network spanning Johns Hopkins APL, Penn Medicine / University of Pennsylvania Health System, East Carolina University Brody School of Medicine, ECU Health, the Prolonged Field Care Collective, the Geneva Foundation, RTI International, and NC-COMP. The customer base reads as a roster of elite Western SOF: USSOCOM and its service components (Army, Naval, Marine Corps, Air Force SOCOM), the 75th Ranger Regiment, Joint Special Operations Command, plus allied SOF in Australia, New Zealand, Sweden, Norway, Germany, and Denmark, alongside civilian-facing customers such as the Wyoming Army National Guard and USCG Maritime Security Response Team. No revenue figures, funding rounds, or institutional investors are disclosed in available materials.
