I don't know if it applies in this case, but US trauma medicine has also benefited tremendously from the experience of doctors who worked in military hospitals.

It goes the other way too, with military surgeons getting training in US cities: https://www.cbsnews.com/news/intense-training-for-military-s...

Before the War on Terror, US Military trauma surgeons got experience treating bullet wounds by working rotations at hospitals near high crime/gang areas like Compton.

This is also true of traumatic brain injuries. A number of my doctors after a fairly serious (to me alone) car accident mentioned that they have a lot more information thanks to doctors treating victims of TBIs caused by explosions.
