Emergency Medical Technicians (68W)

Enlist as a Soldier into the United States Army and become a certified Combat Medic Specialist (68W). You'll administer emergency medical care in the field in both combat and humanitarian situations.

Your training will allow you to serve as a first responder and triage illnesses and injuries to save lives, much like a paramedic in the civilian world.

You'll also train other Soldiers in lifesaver / first responder courses and provide care on base while not deployed. This is not a civilian contractor position.

No experience necessary. Position is entry level.
