Notes & Sources

  • W1 (Special Operations Combat Medic (SOCM)) is an Army Additional Skill Identifier (proponent: USAJFKSWCS), not a standalone military occupation.
  • Authority scope: "Identifies positions requiring Soldiers qualified in advanced trauma management and emergency medical procedures." Award requirement: "Must successfully complete the Special Operations Combat Medic Course conducted under the auspices of the U.S." Restrictions: "For use with MOS 68W in U.S." The identifier alone does not establish a civilian occupation; occupation-specific skills and career guidance depend on the holder's primary MOS and actual duties.
