Real Life + Current SOTF History

Real-Life Alignment

A Fleet Marine Force Reconnaissance Corpsman supports reconnaissance personnel in direct action, special reconnaissance, and demanding field environments.

Current SOTF / V35 Use

In SOTF, this is the Marine-side medical option for corpsmen attached to 2nd Recon or Force Recon-style teams. It should be treated as an earned advanced medical path.

Unit Association

This MOS is currently associated on the website with Navy Medicine / 2nd Recon / Force Recon. Future member profiles should use the background image tied to the member's assigned unit association.

Command Profile Rule

When this MOS appears on a command profile, the profile must preserve the member's rank, unit, and MOS at the time of each billet, award, citation, or deployment. Current MOS changes should not overwrite older deployment history.

V35 / 3/5 heritage note: HM3 Armando G. Leal Jr. was posthumously awarded the Navy Cross while serving as a corpsman with Company M, 3rd Battalion, 5th Marines during Operation Swift in Vietnam. This is the real green-side legacy the SOTF corpsman track is meant to respect.

SOTF Responsibilities

These responsibilities mirror the real-world function of the MOS while keeping it usable inside SOTF MISFIT operations.

  • Provide medical support to reconnaissance teams operating forward of the main force.
  • Maintain casualty care capability while moving with small teams.
  • Support reconnaissance reporting, extraction planning, and casualty evacuation coordination.
  • Operate with greater independence and maturity than an entry-level line corpsman.
  • Keep recon medical profiles tied to Navy rank while using the recon unit background.

Pipeline Progression

This pipeline separates real-world alignment from how SOTF will apply the role in-game.

  1. Real-life route: Hospital Corpsman foundation, field medical training, reconnaissance-oriented assignment and advanced medical/operational preparation when selected.
  2. SOTF route: complete Field Corpsman path first, demonstrate reliability, pass recon medical attachment evaluation, and receive command approval.
  3. Advanced route: SARC-style, SOIDC-style, or senior recon medical profiles based on billet, rank, and unit need.

Operational Employment

This MOS should be used when it gives the member a real task inside the formation. The role should support the commander, squad, airwing, recon team, medical section, or staff element in a way that matches the real-world purpose of the MOS.

Website Integration Notes

Command profiles using this MOS should follow the Kane West format: profile picture, rank and callsign, current role, deployment or prior-rank history where applicable, MOS/ADMOS, billet history, biography, qualifications, awards, citations, and a unit-associated background image.
