Tactical canine casualty care (t3c)

Veterinary Tactical Group - Janice Baker & Trinity Maurer

Veterinary Tactical Group (VTG) is the creation of former military personnel with extensive

Special Operations canine and medical backgrounds. VTG members use their passion for

working dog medicine, and their experience in the operational setting to bring evidence-based

advancements and tactically proven “lessons learned” to you and your organization. Forget the

“golden hour.” In austere and hostile environments, minutes, and even seconds count. We are

here to prepare you to provide the right lifesaving steps in this environment.


Janice Baker, DVM, DACVPM, MS is the Director of Research and Development at VTG, and serves as adjunct staff clinician at a large veterinary emergency group in North Carolina. She has 20 years of service in the military on active duty and in the Army Reserve, most of which has been with Special Operations canine and medical units under United States Special Operations Command. A Colonel in the US Army Reserve, she is the former Commander of the 422nd

Medical Detachment out of Rockville, MD. Dr. Baker is well known in the veterinary and

working dog communities for groundbreaking research and development regarding

occupational health of working dogs, including combat-related injuries in Military Working Dogs

and line-of-duty injuries in police canines. Dr. Baker was the first in her respective field selected

for Special Operations, and has since been leading the way in developing veterinary combat

medicine and research/development of best practices for healthcare of canine athletes. She is

highly respected in the emergency veterinary medicine field and has presented at many formal

conferences. Dr. Baker has also completed a master’s degree in Veterinary Forensics from the University of Florida.
