I know my National Guard unit offered it when I was with them.

Some posts have worked out programs with their local paramedic programs to send their medics locally.

Military schools have to have a cause,effect and relation to what they are doing to be justified as you are dealing with high level school funding.<br /><br />With that said the local unit level has some flexibility there. When I was in the Marine Corps you would occasionally see the Unit Corpsman work some magic with local trainers and host EMT courses for Marines/Sailors to attend to get certified. I emphasize the word occasionally because it wasn&#39;t an annual event and not something you could always depend on. It was case by case and when funding/time allowed. But for those who were lucky they got some primo training by a combo training staff of Military Medics and active EMT&#39;s. Wealth of knowledge out of the wazoo. But it wasn&#39;t traditional training pipeline stuff.

Or you can go beyond a Paramedic and go to SOCM via 18D, 38B, Ranger medic, 160th Medic, or get lucky and get some other random ARSOF assignment as a medic.

It&#39;s a 30 week course that just started this year; 2020.
