00:11.930 --> 00:14.060

00:14.069 --> 00:16.540
it's fine . It's just a scratch . No ,

00:16.870 --> 00:18.981

00:18.981 --> 00:21.148
get infected . Let's go . You can send

00:21.148 --> 00:20.930

00:29.457 --> 00:31.459
fine . Doc . It's just a few small

00:31.469 --> 00:34.810
scratches . Of course , give me a and

00:34.819 --> 00:38.669

00:40.569 --> 00:41.130
nothing .

00:47.310 --> 00:50.599
Doctor Collins . Matthew Collins from

00:50.610 --> 00:52.689
well met . Yes .

00:55.610 --> 00:58.619
Little Mikey Davis all grown up .

01:00.799 --> 01:03.021
I see you got caught in the draft too .

01:03.810 --> 01:07.250
No , I wasn't drafted . I joined the

01:07.260 --> 01:11.150
Army Medical Reserve Corps , Medical

01:11.160 --> 01:14.300
Reserve Corps . Huh ? Once this is all

01:14.309 --> 01:16.087
over , I'll be going back to my

01:16.087 --> 01:18.059
practice if I make it back .

01:21.040 --> 01:23.540
Well , thanks for being here , Doc .

01:23.550 --> 01:25.661
It's nice to see a familiar face from

01:25.661 --> 01:27.819
home all better

01:34.400 --> 01:36.567
when we talk about the Medical Reserve

01:36.567 --> 01:38.709
Corps in 19 oh eight that came out of

01:38.720 --> 01:41.260
the Spanish American War . However

01:41.269 --> 01:43.819
small , peace time armies did not allow

01:43.830 --> 01:46.110
enough officer commissions to be

01:46.120 --> 01:48.231
awarded to the Medical Corps . And so

01:48.231 --> 01:49.953
what they decided to do was to

01:49.953 --> 01:52.120
establish a medical Reserve Corps that

01:52.120 --> 01:54.064
would allow professionally trained

01:54.064 --> 01:56.176
physicians to continue their civilian

01:56.176 --> 01:58.176
practices of peace time and then to

01:58.176 --> 02:01.190
augment the army in wartime . The

02:01.199 --> 02:04.459
current force of 189,500

02:04.470 --> 02:06.919
soldiers continues to provide support

02:06.930 --> 02:08.986
throughout the globe . In support of

02:08.986 --> 02:11.208
national strategy . During the COVID-19

02:11.208 --> 02:13.430
pandemic , the Army Reserve created and

02:13.430 --> 02:15.690
staffed 20 urban augmentation medical

02:15.699 --> 02:18.589
task forces and currently has 8000

02:18.600 --> 02:20.600
soldiers deployed in 23 countries .

02:20.600 --> 02:22.489
Simply put the joint force cannot

02:22.489 --> 02:24.711
deploy , fight and win without the Army

02:24.711 --> 02:27.550
Reserve . So I joined the Army Reserve

02:27.559 --> 02:29.929
after graduating from college , I just

02:29.940 --> 02:32.051
love what I do and I feel honored and

02:32.051 --> 02:34.218
privileged to be able to do it . And I

02:34.218 --> 02:36.273
did it out of a debt of gratitude to

02:36.273 --> 02:36.029
those who serve .
