Dynamic Front

The next iteration of exercise Dynamic Front takes place from Nov. 4-24, 2024 in Finland, Estonia, Germany, Poland, and Romania. It demonstrates NATO’s ability to share fire missions, target information, and operational graphics from the Arctic to the Black Sea.
The exercise increases the lethality of the Alliance through long-distance fires, builds unit readiness in a complex joint, multi-national environment, and leverages host nation capabilities to increase USARUER-AF’s operational reach. Dynamic Front is planned to include more than 1,800 U.S. and 3,700 multi-national service members from 28 Allied and partner nations.

Innovations in Navy Medicine: Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC)

The Independent Duty Corpsman (IDC) has long been a mainstay in the operational Navy. With a growing US Navy Fleet in the early 1900s, the Navy Medicine needed a more senior level of enlisted care to help it meet the medical needs of over 290 commission ships, when only 124 Navy Physicians were assigned to those ships. By 1923, IDCs were serving aboard ships with a crew of less than 125 men, small detachments of Marines and isolated shore stations. Today, IDCs are an exclusive community compromised of 1,400 men and women who serve in four recognized Navy Enlisted Codes (NECs): Submarine Force (8402), Fleet Marine Force (FMF) Recon (8403), Surface (8425) and Deep Sea Dive Technician (8494).

This Innovations in Navy Medicine video is part of an award winning series dedicated to showcasing the important innovations and hallmarks in Navy Medicine history. Stay tuned to DVIDS and Navy Medicine’s social media platforms for future releases.
