About

General The mission of the Army is to train to fight and win. The mission of the Combat Medic is to provide the medical treatment necessary to sustain the combat Soldier in support of the mission. Training Soldiers, leaders and units is the vital ingredient that ensures the readiness of the force to accomplish this mission. Training must provide Combat Medics with opportunities to practice their skills in an operational environment to be effective. Conditions should be rigorous, relevant, tough, and realistic. The skills of the Combat Medic must be sustained because they are perishable. Many 68W, Combat Medic Specialist duty positions do not allow opportunities for them to practice their operational medicine skills on a routine basis.
