SOF medics are carrying colloids down range now, mostly Hextend but I believe that there is still Hesban in the system. In the SOCM portion of the 18D course which includes Ranger, SEAL and CA medics in addition to the 18D students we carried 500ml bags of NS to simulate colloids. We were also taught the fluid resuscitation algorithm for both crystalloids and colloids. I don't recall ever having colloids on the ambulances when I was on my fire rotations in Florida.
