Hi all!
I was wondering if there was anyone that could shed some light on the different opportunities that there are for joining a special operations medical team. In my research I have come across the Air Force SOST and the Army special operations forward surgical teams/resuscitation teams that provide support. Although there are articles and information on them, it seems to be limited. I was hoping someone with the knowledge/experience could answer some questions for me. Thank you in advance!
Is there anyone that would be able to explain the differences between the teams and what exactly they do in regards to being "special operations"?
Are there different PT standards and training that is required to attach to any of these teams? More specifically is anything like the combat side of SO training?(SEAL,PJ,Green berets,MARSOC)
How does one apply or join a unit? Assuming that they are already commissioned and on active duty.
I know there is limited information that one may be able to provide, but I appreciate any and all that is given.
