Apologies if this is the wrong section...

If you have your Bachelors you need to go to OCS for the USAR. Trust me; USAREC is hurting like crazy for USAR Officers. Don't play around on the Enlisted USAR side if you have the ability to go Officer. PM if you have questions; I'm an Active and Reserve Army Recruiter (Detailed-NOT CAREER) in MI. I'll be more than happy to explain your options and the differences between the benefits.

What he said.

To answer your question. A ground evac ambulance co would be used in a couple of different roles. First to help backfil gaps in the coverage plan in a ground maneuver BDE. We only have so many ambulances and battlefield geometry may make it difficult to cover all area. Second they would also be used to move patients from a BDE medical company or attached forward surgical team to a higher level hospital. In the reserve or guard they are also used in the disaster relief roles to help move patients.

Ground ambulances are still needed in modern combat since we are limited on MEDEVAC birds. In Iraq and Afghanistan there were few enough casualties and enough birds that patients could be moved relatively quickly. If we ever get into a scrap with a near peer there will not be enough MEDEVAC birds to go around.

Thank you for the replies and the advice.  I have plans to go in as an enlisted person now and then apply to HSPS upon graduation (in 2 yrs). School starts in August for me so I do not believe I have time to apply and attend OCS.  

So; do you then have the time for BCT (9.5 weeks plus the AIT time) for this?  BCT is going to happen for Active, USAR, or NG. OCS is 12 weeks, unsure of the AIT for the specific MOS you would do with a Ground Ambulance Company (could be a multitude of them) but likely at least 6+ weeks for an AIT. Don't trust a Recruiter that says you can just apply to OCS later. While true it will take a long time and you will likely regret your choice not to have pursued it prior. If you are set on going back to school then find the ROTC department at your school or the nearest one to your school and talk to them about a Masters program and doing ROTC (very possible; but you will be busy). Either way; if you have the means to earn a Commission right off the bat then try that route; if that doesn't work out then go Enlisted. No harm in trying.

I say all this one that has been in your shoes (sort of0. I Enlisted at 24 with my BS in CJ; tried for OCS in the beginning. And am now in the process of applying again (8yrs later; almost to the day). I am also a Detailed Army Recruiter. I try to give all the options available to applicants and let them decide. I couldn't care less if you choose Active or Reserve/ Enlisted or Officer. Neither changes my paycheck or my NCOER. Good luck and get all the options firsthand.

68W here. Got to Sam Houston around Nov. 26, and graduated April 3. 2 week break in the middle for Exodus. But, if you are already NR-EMT certified they will add you to a company about halfway done with training. The first 2.5-3 months if training is getting EMT-B certified.

Boy I wish you asked me first.  Was similar but including IFT in LAC and  Orange Co before HPSP.

Pm if you have questions

Well........ mosty sitting at a range just in case a medic is needed.
