The combat medic is considered to be the backbone of Army medicine. Soldiers holding the combat medic (68W) military occupation specialty are the first responders to treat service members in combat, with many units often giving their medics the nickname ‘Doc’ to signify the importance of their role in treating those that are wounded. For Spc. Maximilian Raway, a combat medic assigned to the medical platoon, Headquarters and Headquarters Battalion, 4th Battalion, 27th Field Artillery Regiment, 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Armored Division, the distinction applies outside the military as well. Last week in the late evening, Spc. Raway and Sgt. Brittany Lockhart, a radiology specialist with 47th Brigade Support Battalion, 2ABCT, 1AD, were driving down Mesa Hills Rd. on the east side of El Paso when they spotted a one-vehicle accident on the side of the road. Raway and Lockhart were the first to respond to the accident and they immediately pulled over to provide assistance. Raway, 24, and native of San Jose, California received recognition as the 2ABCT ‘Soldier of the Week’ during a commander’s update brief at the 2ABCT foot print on Fort Bliss, June 24, 2021, for actions he and another Soldier took after encountering a vehicle accident.
