Our History
The Joint Medical Readiness Training Center (JMRTC) preceded DMRTI and was responsible for training thousands of medical department officers. However, reengineering JMRTC's medical readiness training efforts with an expanded scope and mission led to the establishment of DMRTI. In July 1997, JMRTC was integrated into DMRTI, forming one organization. DMRTI executes its mission under the direction and guidance of the Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense for Health Affairs Force Health Protection and Readiness (DASD/HA FH&R) and the Force Health Protection Council (FHPC).
Frequently Asked Questions
DMRTI questions and answers
Q1:
How do I request training support from DMRTI?
A:
Please fill out the DMRTI Training Support Request with your Mobile Training Team (MTT) requirement and route for consideration at a minimum of 90 days prior to the requested training dates.

DMRTI Operations will be the conduit for all training requests coordination. Please contact DMRTI Operations for further information.
