Marine Corps Jungle Medicine Course: ‘The Light in a Dark Time’

Deep in the jungle, there’s no medevac, no backup, and no room for mistakes. At the Marine Corps Jungle Warfare Training Center, instructors teach Navy corpsmen to be the light in a dark time. For 10 relentless days, they learn to survive, treat the wounded, and move through terrain that wants them dead – snakes, heat, leeches and all.

It’s not just medicine. It’s warfighting with a pulse.
