title: The special operations aviation flight medic.
abstract: Medical support in the Army Special Operations Forces is a comprehensive continuum of care that begins at the point of injury and extends through definitive management. Each special operations unit has unique medical needs and, as a result, has developed specially trained medical personnel to fulfill those needs. The 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment has developed the special operations aviation flight medic to fill this role. The training of these medics involves a systematic, graduated approach with specific milestones to ensure a standardized level of training.
