Andy. Intersting what you say about all of the medical stuff on the Ronin SA course. It does sound great, however I must ask what they are training people for.
The medical stuff that you talk about sounds fairly similar to a patrol medics course and not the sort of thing that you would assume would be associated with training a guy in CP. In order to train an person to operate in a HE there are far more beneficail things that can be taught than all that med. By all means have a couple of guys on a team trained to that medical standard, but not all. Teaching someone to identify the risks, plan and assess the risks would be more useful, thus avoiding risks, then hopefully you would not need all the medical knowledge. There are too many stories from the pit of poorly trained people missing basic combat indicators. I had a coffee with one the other day who was proud to tell me he thought he saw the signs but carried on down the road regardless. Needless to say lots of him team lost their lives in a foreign country.
Skill fade must also be considered with advanced med training, people that train to the level you descirbe should be either constantly treating complicated injuries or are having skills refrehsed on a course. I would be wary of someone having done a course to that level who has not been refreshed.
Some could argue the same for CP, but at least in a good team you are constantly on the ranges and or training with them.
Perhaps the next CP company on the block should include a basic mechanics course incase you breakdown. They could take them to the local garage and work on real cars!!
In my opinion Ronin SA are not the market leader, there are better companies in the market.
