Over 200 Army Medicine soldiers assigned to the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, or MEDCoE, graduated from Advanced Individual Training, or AIT, as fully qualified 68W Combat Medics August 3, 2021, at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. Nearly 250 fully vaccinated families and friends were able to attend the open graduation using COVID-19 mitigation measures like masks. Those unable to verify vaccination status could also show proof of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the event. A family member embraces her combat medic after the graduation. In the coming days after graduation, active duty soldiers will go to their first unit of assignment or follow-on training, such as Airborne, Ranger School, or phase two medical training. U.S. Army Reserve and U.S. Army National Guard soldiers will return to their home station units.
