JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-Fort Sam Houston, Texas -Over 150 recent graduates of Basic Combat Training, or BCT, at Fort Jackson, SC, were transported in a controlled movement via a contracted commercial airplane to begin training at the U.S. Army Medical Center of Excellence, or MEDCoE, as part of the Army's efforts restrict community contact with the trainees between duty stations due to COVID-19 concerns.
Though the basic trainees have been in a so-called "protective bubble" of training at Fort Jackson for the past several months, each were screened repeatedly before being released to start Advanced Individual Training at Fort Sam in various Army medicine military occupational specialties at the MEDCoE.
The MEDCoE is located at Joint Base San Antonio-Fort Sam Houston, Texas. MEDCoE is comprised of two Medical Training Brigades, a Noncommissioned Officer Academy and several staff elements. MEDCoE is the Army proponent responsible to envision and design responsive Army Medicine capabilities, structure and doctrine that support the fielded force and the future force. MEDCoE trains, educates and inspires nearly 30,000 soldiers in over 360 training and education programs annually that include everyone from combat medics, doctors, surgeons, nurses, veterinarians, dentists, physical therapists and physician assistants to medical evacuation pilots, food inspectors, medical technicians, and hospital administrators.
