GREEN BERET Did Field Surgery on His Own Arm With No Doctor & Stayed in the Fight | Ep. 297 | Pt. 1
What was said
"We developed a course that actually gave them paramedic skill sets for our operators. It gave them a set formulary. We started to build out this entire apparatus to build medical support within the 4th Battalions. We saved lives within, I think it was like 90 days of the first class."
After amputation, Jay Collins led development of the NS Med course, training non-medical Special Operations personnel in advanced paramedic skills to support singleton operators and Jedburgh teams downrange who had no organic medical capability. The program deployed capabilities that saved lives within 90 days and launched multiple civilian training companies.
