Physical/Mental - In order to deploy, a member should be physically and mentally up to the challenge.   Deployments can inflict a great deal of physical and mental stress on a member.  A fit body and a level head go a long way in helping a member support his team while deployed.  A history of an ability to work well with others is required.

Federal Employee - All applicants must be accepted by the National Disaster Medical System for intermittant employee status.  Applicants must pass a background security check. Each member will receive proper identification from the NDMS before they may deploy.  Additional NDMS on-line training may also be required before deployment status is granted.

Team Process - An Applicant must be qualified for the position requested and meet the above qualifications. Those wishing to join DMAT must be approved by DMAT leadership and NDMS.    Applicants will be denied membership on the team due to a failure to pass a back-ground check.

Field Exercise - All members who wish to deploy must first attend a week-end field training exercise that includes an over-night stay.

Team members are expected to continue as active and supportive members by participation in team activities such as warehouse work, planning meetings and trainings.
