In the early 1960s, LTC Richard L. Coppedge, Medical Corps, expanded the functions of the Office of the Surgeon for the Special Warfare Center at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He drew upon the then recent Special Forces experience in Laos and the beginnings of Special Forces experience in Vietnam to reorient the Special Forces medical mission from guerilla warfare to counterinsurgency. With improved training, development of new equipment, coordination with civilian and military medical agencies, collection of medical intelligence data, and an increase of key staff within his office, he left a huge legacy for other Special Forces Surgeons to emulate.
20世纪60年代初，陆军中校理查德·L·科佩奇（医疗部队）扩展了北卡罗来纳州布拉格堡特种作战中心外科医生办公室的职能。他借鉴了当时特种部队在老挝的近期经验以及在越南特种部队经验的开端，将特种部队的医疗任务从游击战重新定位为反叛乱行动。通过改进训练、开发新设备、与民用和军事医疗机构协调、收集医疗情报数据以及增加其办公室内的关键工作人员，他为其他特种部队外科医生留下了巨大的遗产以供效仿。
