GENTEXT/REMARKS/1.  This is a Headquarters Marine Corps (HQMC) 
Safety Division (SD) message to announce a Fleet Marine Forces (FMF)
Hospital Corpsman (LO3A) Training Pipeline Survey that applies to 
battalion/squadron-level and below Corpsmen and their respective 
commanders and officers-in-charge. 
2. Historically, a training analysis is conducted as part of 
Training and Readiness (T&R) manual review.  During the Health 
Services T&R Manual (NAVMC 3500.84B) review, training gaps were
identified.  Over the past two years, there have been several
questions regarding the current state and sufficiency of the LO3A
FMF Hospital Corpsman training pipeline, and the sustainment of
knowledge, skills, and abilities, both at the Field Medical Training
Battalions (FMTB) and in the FMF. 
2.a. To understand these possible training gaps and answer the 
questions regarding the L03A – FMF Hospital Corpsmen training 
pipeline, Policy and Standards Division, Training and Education
Command developed separate surveys for FMF Corpsmen, commanders,
and officers-in-charge to complete.
2.b. Collected survey data will be analyzed to better understand 
the L03A – FMF Hospital Corpsman training pipeline, identify 
training gaps, and the sustainment of knowledge, skills, and 
abilities to improve the ground T&R process and inform the Health 
Services T&R Manual.  
3. Beginning 1 September 2024 and ending no later than 1 December 
2024, commanders and officers-in-charge will ensure the widest 
dissemination of this MARADMIN to all Corpsmen at 
battalion/squadron level and below and encourage maximum survey 
participation.
4. Online surveys should take no more than five minutes to complete 
and are accessible via computer or smartphone.

Officers-in-Charge) Survey is available at:

Marine Corps Staff.//
