GREEN BERET Did Field Surgery on His Own Arm With No Doctor & Stayed in the Fight | Ep. 297 | Pt. 1
"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."

The program deployed capabilities that saved lives within 90 days and launched multiple civilian training companies.
