<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Realistically, its the same job with two different titles under the combat arms. You will fill a Field Medical Assistant slot when you are with an Artillery unit as they typically are only assigned a PA to their unit. Medical Operations Officer or MEDO are slots filled within Maneuver combat arms (I.E. Cav, Armor, and Infanty). MEDO&#39;s work with a Doctor and a PA usually. Size of the medical assets are also different but you are still planning the medical coverage for your unit as well as coordinating with adjacent units for any medical coverage as well as working with your BDE MEDO as well as Role II whether it is a Brigade support Medical Company or an Area Support Medical Company.
