I have no information on A-Stan.
As with every other thing in the Army...Group guys don't count 
Unconventional folks may have different guidelines due to any number of reasons....not the least of which include remote placement or inability to reach advanced medical care in a timely fashion. Or just for the fact that they are special and have the best hair. 
In Iraq, they have not been used (conventional forces) since at least Sep 06 when I arrived. There is little to no use for them as folks who are injured are generally at a LVL II (or better) facility in an incredibly timely manner.
Even MiTT and NPTT team medics are restricted from all medications that are not OTC by the MND-I SGN's Office and are mandated to utilize ADTMC now for their protocols.
