I know any line medic will do a little bit of whatever their attached unit is doing, but besides line medic, what are the other types of duties a 68w might be assigned while deployed?

Combat medic, hospital medic, flight medic (additional training), special operations combat medic (additional training), SOAR flight medic (additional training), civil affairs medic (additional training) and probably others that I can’t think of, being a 68W requires you be incredibly flexible with the different jobs you’ll have throughout your career in the military.

I just noticed the “while deployed” part, it still stands that you have to be flexible as a medic, they can stick you anywhere. I’ve seen medics tasked out as full time fuelers while deployed.

It really just depends on what kind of unit you're attached to. I was attached to a detainee unit I'm one of my deployments. I've been attached to a cash unit, there are literally hundreds of jobs you could do
