    A 68W Combat Medic assigned to the 550th MCAS, 261st Med. BN, 44th Med. BDE, fires a M249 light machine gun from the hood of a field litter ambulance during a situational training exercise at Fort Liberty, NC on Mar. 11, 2024. The U.S. Army Medical Test Evaluation Activity (USAMTEAC) conducted a holistic assessment of the employment and use of the M249 LMG in other medical formations. The purpose of the assessment was to collect data on the M249’s impact on medical soldiers as they complete daily mission requirements. This included if soldiers were impeded by physical, logistical, or any other factors, while equipped with the squad automatic weapon.
