 Welcome to All Hands Update. I'm Petty Officer James Stillepack. Casualties are an unfortunate consequence of combat operations. All Hands magazine sat down with a special group of sailors whose mission is to save lives as part of Fleet Marine Forces and Marine Forces Special Operations Command. Here's a quick look at a special, amphibious reconnaissance corpsman. Everybody respected a special operation corpsman throughout the Marine Corps because they did the same things that we did. Everybody's got a specific job, and the corpsman has got to be in tune with every one of those jobs. He's got to know about the point man, the rear guy. He's got to know what the radio man does, so you can read them out. They can jump, they can swim, these operational guys. And they fought in the lines with the troops, the one on patrols with the troops. To see the full story and hear why their motto is, the difficult anytime, the impossible by appointment only, visit ah.mil.
