Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman Template (for GURPS Spec Ops 3rd Edition)

Here’s the template for 3E GURPS for the Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman. It’s similar to others in the GURPS Spec Ops templates.

SARC                                           123 points

Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsmen are United States Navy Hospital Corpsmen that provide the Marine Special Operations reconnaissance teams and other USSOCOM units advanced trauma management associated with combatant diving and parachute entry. Traditionally, Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsmen (SARCs) are attached to the Marine Corps Force Reconnaissance companies to help support special reconnaissance missions. Lately however, due to a growing need for combat medics in the special operations community, SARCs are beginning to be utilized in almost all USSOCOM assets.  Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman must have the Basic Skills below. If the character has attended advanced training, he will also have the appropriate Special Skills package(s), which will increase template cost.
