Greenshirt Medics bolster the forces of GI Joe infantry by providing fast and efficient medical treatment as close to the front lines as possible. They are recruited from the ranks of all four service branches of the US military, and some promising medical students are even selected and offered a position. Their job is to make sure the soldiers who are wounded in battle get back home safe and sound, so they can fight another day. Despite their grunt level status, they are skilled medics capable of effective triage and front line treatment.
