Its focus is to help Veteran care facilities provide a warm meal, clothing, shelter, and guidance, or simply to say "thank you" and "welcome home." The association's members include Full Members with combat service and Supporter Members with non-combat military service. Many members continue to serve in the armed forces. CVMA sponsors and participates in many motorcycle-related charity events each year, and as a non-profit organization, donate to various Veteran care facilities and Veteran charities.  
                                           
COMBAT VETERAN - COMBAT MEDIC

  

Combat medics (also known as  medics) are military personnel who have been trained to at least an  EMT-Basic level (16 week course in the U.S. Army), and who are responsible  for providing first aid and frontline trauma care on the battlefield. They  are also responsible for providing continuing medical care in the absence of  a readily available physician, including care for disease and battle injury.  Combat medics are normally co-located with the combat troops they serve in  order to easily move with the troops and monitor ongoing health. Geneva convention protection In 1864, sixteen European states adopted the  first-ever Geneva Convention to save lives to alleviate the suffering of  wounded and sick combatants, and to protect trained medical personnel as  non-combatants, in the act of rendering aid. Chapter IV, Article 25  of the Geneva Convention states that: "Members of the armed forces specially  trained for employment, should the need arise, as hospital orderlies, nurses  or auxiliary stretcher-bearers, in the search for or the collection,  transport or treatment of the wounded and sick shall likewise be respected  and protected if they are carrying out these duties at the time when they  come into contact with the enemy or fall into his hands." Article 29 reads:  "Members of the personnel designated in Article 25 who have fallen into the  hands of the enemy, shall be prisoners of war, but shall be employed on  their medical duties insofar as the need arises." According to the  Geneva Convention, knowingly firing at a medic wearing clear insignia is a  war crime. In modern times, most combat medics carry a personal  weapon, to be used to protect themselves and the wounded or sick in their  care. When and if they use their arms offensively, they then sacrifice their  protection under the Geneva Conventions. These medics are specifically  trained. History Surgeon Dominique Jean Larrey directed the Grande  Armée of Napoleon to develop mobile field hospitals, or "ambulances  volantes" (flying ambulances), in addition to a corps of trained and  equipped soldiers to aid those on the battlefield. Before Larrey's  initiative in the 1790s, wounded soldiers were either left amid the fighting  until the combat ended or their comrades would carry them to the rear line. It was during the American Civil War that Surgeon (Major) Jonathan  Letterman, Medical Director of the Army of the Potomac, realized a need for  an integrated medical treatment and evacuation system. He saw the need to  equip this system with its own dedicated vehicles, organizations,  facilities, and personnel. The Letterman plan was first implemented in  September 1862 at the Battle of Antietam, Maryland. The United States  Army’s need for medical and scientific specialty officers to support combat  operations resulted in the creation of two temporary components: the U.S.  Army Ambulance Service, established on June 23, 1917 and the Sanitary Corps,  established on June 30, 1917. Officers of the Sanitary Corps served in  medical logistics, hospital administration, patient administration, resource  management, x-ray, laboratory engineering, physical reconstruction, gas  defense, and venereal disease control. They were dedicated members of the  medical team that enabled American generals to concentrate on enemy threats  rather than epidemic threats. On August 4, 1947, Congress created the Navy  Medical Service Corps. In the United States, a report entitled  "Accidental Death and Disability: The Neglected Disease of Modern Society  (1966)", was published by National Academy of Sciences and the National  Research Council. Better known as "The White Paper" to emergency providers,  it revealed that soldiers who were seriously wounded on the battlefields of  Vietnam had a better survival rate than those individuals who were seriously  injured in motor vehicle accidents on California freeways. Early research  attributed these differences in outcome to a number of factors, including  comprehensive trauma care, rapid transport to designated trauma facilities,  and a new type of medical corpsman, one who was trained to perform certain  critical advanced medical procedures such as fluid replacement and airway  management, which allowed the victim to survive the journey to definitive  care. Red Cross, Red Crescent, and MDA The International Committee  of the Red Cross, a private humanitarian institution based in Switzerland,  provided the first official symbol for medical personnel. The first Geneva  convention, originally called for "Amelioration of the Condition of the  Wounded and Sick in Armed Forces in the Field," officially adopted the red  cross on a field of white as the identifying emblem. This symbol was meant  to signify to enemy combatants that the medic qualifies as a non-combatant,  at least while providing medical care. Islamic countries use a Red Crescent  instead. During the 1876-1878 war between Russia and Turkey, the Ottoman  Empire declared that it would use a red crescent instead of a red cross as  its emblem, although it agreed to respect the red cross used by the other  side. Although these symbols were officially sponsored by the International  Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies, the Magen David Adom  ("MDA"), Israel's emergency relief service, used the Magen David (a red star  of David on a white background). Israeli medics still wear the Magen David.  To enable MDA to become a fully recognized and participating member of the  International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, Protocol III was adopted.  It is an amendment to the Geneva Conventions relating to the Adoption of an  Additional Distinctive Emblem and authorizes the use of a new emblem, known  as the third protocol emblem or the Red Crystal. For indicative use on  foreign territory, any national society can incorporate its unique symbol  into the Red Crystal. Under Protocol III, the MDA will continue to employ  the red Magen David for domestic use, and will employ the red crystal on  international relief missions. Modern day Traditionally, medical  personnel did not carry weapons and wore a distinguishing red cross, to  denote their protection as non-combatants under the Geneva Convention. This  practice continued into World War II. However, the enemies faced by  professional armies in more recent conflicts are often insurgents who either  do not recognize the Geneva Convention, or do not care, and readily engage  all personnel, irrespective of non-combatant status. For this reason, most  modern combat medics are armed combatants who do not wear distinguishing  markings. Combat Medics in the United States Army and United States Navy  Hospital Corpsmen are virtually indistinguishable from regular combat  troops, except for the extra medical equipment they carry. In the  U.S. Navy, enlisted medical personnel are known as Corpsmen, not medics. The  colloquial form of address for a Hospital Corpsman is "Doc." In the U.S.  Marine Corps, this term is generally used as a sign of respect. The U.S.  Navy deploys FMF Hospital Corpsman attached to U.S. Marine Corps units as  part of the Fleet Marine Force. Since the U.S. Marine Corps is part of the  Department of the Navy, it relies on Navy Corpsmen and other Naval medical  personnel for medical care. USAF medics have frequently served  attached to U.S. Army units in recent conflicts. Though all combat medical  personnel are universally referred to as "medic", within different branches  of the U.S. military, the skill level, quality of training and scope of work  performed by medics varies from branch to branch. The U.S Army commonly  addresses Line Medics as "Doc" provided that they have earned the title, as  it does not come easily. As a result of the 2005 BRAC, the U.S.  Department of Defense has moved most medical training for all branches of  the armed forces to Fort Sam Houston of Joint Base San Antonio. A new  Medical Education and Training Campus was constructed and the Air Force's  937th Training Group and Naval Hospital Corps School were relocated to Fort  Sam Houston, joining the Army's existing Army Medical Department Center &  School. Although each service has some training particular to its branch,  the bulk of the course material and instruction is shared between medical  personnel of the different services.

The Force  Reconnaissance Corpsman receives NEC-8427. Upon completion of SOCM, E-4 and  below Corpsmen and medics move on to an operational unit as a Special  Operations Combat Medic, while E-5 and above Corpsmen and Medics will go to  an operational unit or have the opportunity to attend the Special Operations  Independent Duty Corpsman course (SOIDC). Med Fundamentals (7 Weeks) This is the first section of training. It covers pharmacology,  pharmaceutical calculations, anatomy, physiology, pathophysiology, medical  terminology, basic physical exam techniques, and medical documentation.  During the anatomy and physiology section, our students are privileged to  use the cadaver lab located in the schoolhouse facility. SOCM Trauma  Modules (7 Weeks) This training covers AHA Basic Life Support, advance  airway management, patient management skills, pre-hospital trauma  emergencies and care, advance trauma tasks/skills, pre-hospital trauma  emergencies and care, advanced trauma skills, operating room procedures, and  minor surgical skills. Students take the NREMT-Basic examination after  completing these subjects. Included in the Trauma Modules is the Advanced  Tactical Practitioner phase. This covers obstetrics and pediatric  emergencies, cardiac pharmacology, training in combat trauma management,  PEPP, and Advanced Cardiac Life Support (ACLS). Clinical Internship:  (4 Weeks) The students then go on the -Paramedic clinical rotation and  field internship at one of several Level I Trauma Centers on the east coast.  This consists of 2 weeks of ambulance, 2 weeks of hospital. The hospital  training consists of rotations in the emergency department, labor and  delivery, surgical intensive care, pediatric emergency department, and  operating room. Ambulance training consists of assignment to an Advanced  Life Support EMS unit responsible for responding to a variety of 911  emergency calls. Military Medicine: (3 Weeks) The last phase of  training is conducting Sick Call procedures. This covers the care of routine  walk-in patients under the supervision of a physician or physician’s  assistant at one of the many clinics at FT. Bragg. Combat  Medical Badge Information I.
