The Combat Medic in Vietnam
Abstract
The Combat Medics found themselves in a poor situation during the Vietnam Conflict. The organization and duties, weapons and heroes all played an important role in the development of the NCO during the Vietnam Conflict. Many organizational problems and power struggles were detrimental to the Combat medic's enforcement and accomplishments of duty. During the Vietnam Conflict, many Combat medic NCOs were using excellent supplies and materials. Resources available to the Medics however, were not as frequent as it should have been. Near the end ofthe United State's involvement in the Vietnam Conflict, the Medical organization structure had been facilitated to encompass an entire command. This facilitated the process of securing supplies as well as the movement of personnel and the stability of a central command doctor overseeing medical issues and concerns.
