When you go through AIT for 68W (medic) in the army, you obtain a civillian licence in the first half of the training. Its a EMT-B license.Then, afterwords, you go through what is known as the Whiskey Side of the House; basically that's army medical training, which goes above what they teach you to get a EMT license. So its the same as far as what you are allowed to do to a civillian when off duty and not in a warzone (your limited by your licence level to O2 and transportation basically) but as far as treating any government personell or people we are protecting/fighting/etc. you will more often then not find yourself going WAYYYY outside of your scope of practice and doing things that most med. students don't do, and things that not even the most seasoned EMT-P (third level of EMT liscences) would do. You are basically limited only by what you know/don't know and are comfortable doing. As long as your Doc in charge of you thinks you can do it, your good to go.
Oh, as a side piece of advice to anyone that reads this, get your EMT-B licence BEFORE you get into the army or marine corps as a medic or corpsman. It lets you skip the first half of your 16 weeks of AIT training to be a medic. And trust me...those are a very miserable 8 weeks. Your going to want to trust me on that one.
