Independent duty corpsmen (IDCs) have a significant role in providing health care on the USNS Comfort (T-AH 20). The IDCs are responsible for staffing sick call, emergency response teams, and resuscitation/stabilization teams. IDCs are trained in advanced patient care and in medical administrative and logistical duties. During peacetime, their function often focuses on primary care to the decrement of skills necessary to perform in medical emergencies. The Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm mobilization has emphasized the need for Navy medicine to continue its support of IDC training so that they are kept in a state of preparedness to competently deliver the full spectrum of care that is expected of them.
独立值班医务兵在美国海军“舒适”号医院船（T-AH 20）上提供医疗保健方面发挥着重要作用。这些医务兵负责为伤病员候诊室、应急反应小组以及复苏/稳定治疗小组配备人员。他们接受过高级患者护理以及医疗行政和后勤职责方面的培训。在和平时期，他们的工作重点往往是初级护理，这导致他们在医疗紧急情况下履行职责所需的技能有所下降。“沙漠盾牌/沙漠风暴”行动强调了海军医疗部门继续支持独立值班医务兵培训的必要性，以便使他们随时做好准备，能够胜任提供人们期望他们提供的全方位护理。
