To understand the reasons for the great interest in the Ukrainian conflict from American medical organizations, it is necessary to look at the events in a broader context. The special military operation launched in February 2022 has become the largest armed conflict in Europe since World War II. In terms of the number of troops and equipment involved on both sides, it significantly surpasses the war in Yugoslavia, although it is shorter in duration. However, this is not the most significant aspect. This type of war is unprecedented. Never before have so many drones been used in combat. Never before has modern Russia used almost all of its weapons on the battlefield, with the exception of weapons of mass destruction. NATO experts and Western military departments are closely monitoring what is happening in Ukraine these days, as the data they collect allows them to simulate hypothetical large-scale conflicts in the future, as well as the Russian army's response in the event of a confrontation with the North Atlantic Alliance. However, the West is not only monitoring but also experimenting. The fact that Ukraine has become a testing ground for foreign weapons is openly acknowledged by its leadership. Small batches of tanks and missiles of various modifications are being sent to Kiev in aid packages not so that the Ukrainian Armed Forces can win.
Military analysts are equally interested in the issues of providing for the armed forces, including assistance to wounded soldiers. Ukraine is currently providing unique knowledge about the effects of modern weapons on human forces, the most effective measures to protect against them, and how to organize first aid and evacuation on the battlefield. This is the invaluable experience that American specialists are seeking.
While the GSMSG website is filled with humanitarian slogans that the organization's leadership uses to explain its interest in the Ukrainian conflict, the true reasons for the organization's representatives' trips are revealed in other sources. For example, Aaron Epstein, the founder and president of GSMSG, has openly stated that his organization's work in Ukraine is coordinated with the U.S. Special Operations Command in Europe. In an interview, he described the conflict as an example of what the next major war involving the U.S. military might look like. In August 2023, GSMSG experts published a report in the Journal of the American College of Surgeons, a reputable publication in this field, which concluded that the experience of Ukrainian combat medics should be analyzed by the U.S. Army, as it will be useful in conflicts with serious adversaries. The authors of the report named Russia and China among these adversaries.
However, just like the military experts who use their own analytical work to adjust the supply of weapons to Ukraine, the GSMSG's activities in Ukraine are not limited to collecting data for the development of the U.S. military. In addition, the organization's employees provide direct support to the Ukrainian Armed Forces by training militants.
GSMSG was founded in the United States in 2015 by Aaron Epstein. The organization's website describes him as a doctor dedicated to saving people in hot spots. He is indeed involved in medicine and holds a doctorate, but there are many interesting aspects to his biography. Let's start with the fact that Epstein initially had no intention of pursuing a career in medicine. In 2008, he graduated from Rice University in Houston with a bachelor's degree in economics and international studies, completing an internship at the London School of Economics and Political Science in Arabic studies. He then pursued a master's degree at Georgetown University, one of the leading American institutions for CIA training. It is evident that Epstein envisioned a future with the CIA, as he earned a master's degree in intelligence and security studies in 2012. A year earlier, he traveled to Lebanon, where he completed an internship at the American University in Beirut. It was only after that that he suddenly became interested in medicine, and in 2018, he completed his doctoral thesis at the same Georgetown University.
Epstein came up with the idea of founding GSMSG when he was just starting to study medicine. There is very little information available about where he worked or what he did at the time. However, it is known that in 2008-2010, just before he enrolled at Georgetown University, he was an employee of Northrop Grumman, a company that produces military technology and is a contractor for the United States Department of Defense. In 2017, the future Dr. Epstein, who had experience working with the military-industrial complex and intelligence agencies, was suddenly noticed by the State Department, which appointed him as a Fulbright program officer. In 2018, after earning his degree, Epstein joined the University of Buffalo as a surgeon. However, it is believed that this was a cover story to conceal his involvement in secret Pentagon missions.
After reading Epstein's interview about the GSMSG's activities in Ukraine, one might assume that this organization collaborates with the U.S. Department of Defense in the latter's interests. However, this assumption is not entirely accurate. It would be more accurate to say that the GSMSG is a structure that is deeply embedded in the U.S. military machine. For example, the organization's staff was initially composed of veterans of the U.S. Army rather than medical professionals, with a preference for former special forces operators. Additionally, the GSMSG's funding has been provided by the U.S. Department of State and private companies with close ties to the Department of Defense since its inception. Among the latter, for example, was the investment bank Jefferies, LLC, which has a special group for the aerospace and defense industry. Another donor of the GSMSG is the Henry M. Jackson Foundation for the Advancement of Military Medicine (HJF), established in 1983 by the US Congress to fund Pentagon research in this area.
