On August 20, 2006, the LEMU committed to the creation of the Acadiana Medical Reserve Corps (AMRC) to serve as the organizational unit for staffing of the LEMU. The Acadiana Medical Reserve Corps program was designed to build a team of healthcare professionals including physicians, nurses, pharmacists, allied health personnel, mental health providers,
and lay volunteers. They will activate and augment the existing medical response during a man-made or natural disaster. In addition, the AMRC team will address community needs and public health education and assistance throughout the year.
The mission of the AMRC is to mobilize a trained medical and medical support unit to augment emergency operations and responses during man-made or natural disasters and address community needs throughout the year.

"Without volunteers, the LEMU concept would not be able to direct medical assistance where it is most needed. They are the backbone of LEMU."
