TR, that is correct.
A person has to be in great shape on an A Team. That's a given. The Medic(s) on the Team must understand the operational environment and their Team in order to anticipate any problems that may occur. Knowing the various problems specific to an environment gives the Medic confidence in their ability to accurately diagnose and fix the problem(s). Nothing's sexier than confidence.
Going into any arena without proper planning and preparation is a recipe for disaster. The old adage "suck it up and drive on" has it's place, but at the same time, we're (SF) suppose to be smarter than the average bear. Knowing that an environment will tax Team members initially must be a consideration in pre-mission planning.
