Green Initiative Medical Division

==People Before Power==
The original cause for the Green Initiative's split from the Armor Corps lay in a feeling of mishandling of Suits, personnel and resources by the Armor Corps. The Green Initiative's founders very vocally claimed that without enough support, they could win the war with "less bullshit" due to their superior perspective of the war effort and greater humanitarian considerations. Like with most things any member of the Green Initiative claims, this ultimately turned out to be a lie. But the actions of the faction as a whole did not change the fact that there was still a percentage of the GI that joined to actually help people and save what they could. To these individuals, the Green Initiative had already lost sight of its stated goals and begun to descend into barely-organized camps of warmongering luddites, destroying or stealing cultural sites and artifacts instead of preserving or safeguarding them and using their Suits to lord over refugee populations rather than protect them.This change in demeanor quickly lead to a further splinter faction to develop out of the Green Initiative, known as the Green Initiative Medical Division. Essentially taking on the role of the Red Cross, GIMD worked hard to provide relief and rescue services during the war, and became distinguished for using their Suits in an entirely humanitarian way. Still falling under the umbrella of the Armor Corps Coalition, GIMD Pilots found themselves employed as battlefield medics during the war and were highly valued for their ability to, thanks to having Suits of their own, keep up with more combat-focused Pilots and operate in conditions that any other medic could never hope to survive. It had become a dark joke within the ACC that more Pilots had died from horribly botched first aid attempts than had been killed by Vannai Puppets, meaning that the presence of a GIMD Pilot on the team was taken as a great source of relief and assurance that no one was going home with any tourniquets around their necks.At several points in the factions history, GIMD has made amends with its parent faction and rejoined the Green Initiative, only to reverse this decision for one reason or another and go back to being an independent group. Following the creation of the South American Ashlands, the GIMD appear to have made their decision to remain separate from GI a permanent one.
==Specialties==
===Warden===
Upon taking up a role as a warden of GIMD, each pilot swears and oath to protect the innocent and weak - to shield them at all costs. On the battlefield, they are stalwart protectors and champions of the defenseless, using their shields and armor to protect others. Off the battlefield, when no training, they volunteer their time to help rebuild communities that are struggling, and provide protection and muscle for the other specializations. They are jokingly referred to as 'Orderlies', but never to their face.
===Combat medic===
Combat Medics are highly skilled first responders who serve on the front lines of conflicts worldwide. Their self-assigned task is to keep their injured comrades alive long enough to get them to a proper field hospital. They will brave any danger to rescue an injured comrade, and are capable of quickly getting to their charges, applying expert first aid and evacuating them safely.
===Field Surgeon===
True doctors, the ranks of the Field Surgeons are medically trained professionals whom possesses the training, equipment and skill to perform surgery on suits and living beings alike. Healers in the most classic sense of the word, they take on a vow to 'do no harm', and they take their vow very seriously. Most of these pilots are founding members of GI, and left in disgust of what the faction has become.
===Scrub===
Newcomers to GIMD spend time learning from the more experienced members of the faction in a form of apprenticeship. This training is not, in fact, limited to permanent members of the faction: Many faction send pilots to train in the basics of medicine and healing with GIMD. those whom return to their original faction can help keep their comrades alive, and take home some small part of GIMD's optimism. Many choose instead to stay and repay their training with loyalty.
