Nat Geo is running an Inside Combat Rescue marathon today for those of you who haven't seen it or would just like to watch it again.
Last one was a real mind fuck. The OR doc was trying to pump the poor soldier's heart by hand.

This last episode featured GD's favorite troopers... USAF SF
At one point they were taking heavy firepower from young locals armed with pebbles. |

My dad has had to crack open a few chests to massage the heart... That is really a last ditch effort to revive a deceased person.
On one occasion his ring finger slipped into a hidden bullet wound on the backside of the heart. He called it right there. |

Season 1 was on Netflix. How many seasons are there? Just one 6 ep season, as OP said. But, it seems there is also a 2hr special called The Last Stand and another 1hr ep called The Golden Hour. |

Watched the Last Stand tonight.
It was split between a PJ unit and a AF SF unit (Reapers) doing time on Bagram. |

When you say sf, do you mean security forces? I was a designated marksman for the perimeter units in bagram, and I think the "outside the wire" unit was nicknamed the reapers. They weren't really adept at such operations....I hope they didn't follow with cameras,

I saw them a while back, but I really enjoyed the season. I would love to have their job.

Didnt really like it. They are comparable to army flight medics. Nothing really special about them. Just my 2 cents of course.

Guess that seals it. The "reaper unit" of security forces while I was there was woefully undertrained for offbase patrols and while equipped with the newest MATVs and the slightly older international max pro pluses, lacked communications between vehicles. the lack of experience and planning or any actual tangible mission for these troops resulted in a foot patrol meandering through a Russian minefield and two airmen lost a leg, as well as an mwd being injured.
I had previously seen much better coordinated and directed security forces units at JBB. The bargram guys were just kind of set up to fail. |

Yeah, its their job - but I myself know a bunch of guys that probably wouldn't be alive if it weren't for flight medics doing their job. God bless all flight medics. Leeroy Jenkins type or others. We had a lot of guys wounded. A decent amount would have died, or lost more limbs were it not for flight medics. |

Then you are absolutely ignorant of what it becomes to be a PJ. Army flight medics don't do half the training, are not half as qualified, as PJ's. Perhaps medically, but certainly not in special forces training, tactics, and employment. |

PJs are the best high speed unit in the whole of the US armed forces. They are bad ass.

They are far better trained in aviation medicine. Not to mention they have a skillset far and above what your average soldier, marine, sailor, or airmen. These guys are Special Operations Forces, not some support element of SOCOM. They shoot, jump, dive, blow shit up, travel far behind enemy lines to extricate downed pilots, and happen fly as CASEVAC when needed. Walk onto Hulburt Field and tell them they are just flight medics, I guarantee you won't forget the answer. |

The SF portion made me beat my face, it was my worst nightmare televised. The JBB teams you saw were Lion units ( 532 ESFS area security patrols) or joint teams, which were Phoenix teams (EDET2411 Security Teams). Easy way to ID them were the vix, 532 used Maxxpro, 2411 used Cougars. |
