United Nations Medical Service

THE UNITED NATIONS MEDICAL SERVICE

The United Nations Medical Service is a branch of the United Nations Marine Corps. Focused on providing medical training and aid, it specializes in a wide range of different fields and disciplines which work to help improve the services they provide.

This branch contains all medical related personnel, from Hospital Corpsmen, Medical Officers and Nurses.

Organization

The UNMS is headed by the Surgeon General, who is responsible for establishing the regulations of the branch, publishing documentation regarding medical advice, information, and health warnings, as well as organizing large-scale medical relief or aid efforts. Advising them on various matters are highly-trained military and civilian doctors, representing the best in their fields.

Operations

The United Nations Medical Service is responsible for ensuring that all members are trained and equipped for providing medical aid and support, offering lessons and training within both bootcamps, designed to instruct Corpsmen on first-aid services, and Officer Academies, which have courses teaching advanced medical practices, surgeries, and chemical production.

Occasionally, in times of crisis, the UNMS will be tasked with providing medical aid to United Nations civilian populations, often alongside members of the ILRC especially after disasters or devastating conflicts. Such deployment is rare, and often requires situations which have left civilian medical institutions unable to respond, or when such a large population has been displaced and injured that civilian groups cannot properly respond.

During planetary quarantines within UN borders, when UNSN ships are required to blockade a colony, the UNMS will dispatch doctors and scientists to aid virological research and vaccine production, as although they are less specialised for such efforts compared to their civilian counterparts, they offer their own unique experiences and skillsets. Part of the UNMS’ duty is also establishing and regulating quarantine procedures that all branches of the UNMC must follow, following contact with unknown xenofauna or interactions with possibly hazardous bacteriums, viruses, and chemicals.
