South Africa's 44 Medical Task Group, part of 7 Medical Battalion Group, is permanently attached to 44 Parachute Brigade. The Task Group consists of parachute qualified Ops Medics, specialist soldiers who perform the recovery, stabilization and evacuation of wounded soldiers from behind enemy lines.[1]

44 Medical Task Group is similar in function to the United States Air Force Special Operations Command (AFSOC) Pararescuemen (also known as PJs), who are tasked with the recovery and medical treatment of personnel in humanitarian and combat environments.
