A special operations independent duty corpsman (SOIDC) rushes to render aid to a simulated patient after a simulated attack during a night exercise as part of an Operational Readiness Evaluation (ORE) of Navy EXMED capabilities at Naval Expeditionary Medical Training Institute (NEMTI), March 19. SOIDC are trained and qualified Petty Officers who possess the advanced skills and knowledge required to perform duties as a SEAL medic or a Force Reconnaissance Hospital Corpsman. SOIDCs and all POI care and training are one part of the Navy’s expeditionary medicine capabilities that provide a ready, rapidly deployable and combat effective medical force to improve survivability across the full spectrum of care, regardless of environment. and provide targeted lifesaving interventions to patients onboard platforms and in austere environments without clinically compromising the patients’ condition. The Navy Medicine Operational Training Command (NMOTC) is the Navy’s leader in operational medicine and trains specialty providers for aviation, surface, submarine, expeditionary, and special operations communities.
