Will us armed forces put a soldier with ab negative blood in a combat zone?
This is an interesting subject as I once was in the US Army as part of a combat unit and I have AB Negative blood. I had heard that if you had AB Negative blood, you weren't forced to be put in a combat zone. Of course doing my job only had a 9 second life expectancy in the course of battle, so it didn't matter if I was put in a combat zone or not. Lucky for me, my injuries didn't require blood transfusions. What I find curious is that when going through the enlisting process that includes a physical where your blood type is determined, why someone with AB Negative blood would even be considered for the Armed Services much less a combat MOS. There are plenty of support roles that need to be done back in garrison where someone with AB Negative blood can fill a need. Then again, there have been plenty of soldiers who were in support roles put in harms way just as though they were in combat units. In fact, these support role soldiers were placed in more danger as they didn't have the same arms support as you have with a combat unit. I would like to think the US Armed Forces doesn't purposely place a soldier with AB Negative blood on the battlefield but when you are a soldier, you follow orders and not all those in command know who has AB Negative blood and those who don't!

The term "combat troops" is confusing to civilians (and some military personnel too) because the term has been abused for so long.

During the late 1990 the US Army "may" have added other branches to that specialized combat arms system. Rumor control stated that the aviation branch was added to the combat arms system. The combat arms of the US Army are the conventional fighting branches of the US Army (or was during the Viet War days). US Combat troops, along with specialized troops were deployed to SOUTH Vietnam in 1955. CONVENTIONAL forces (those combat arms men previously discussed above were deployed in 1965).
