Dr. Marchi's most notable career achievement occurred while working with a service that facilitated an international collaboration between aeromedical evacuation paramedics and nurses. The goal was to enhance the combat efficiency of the current U.S. Black Hawk helicopter platform, which is capable of accommodating six litter patients and utilizing one U.S. flight paramedic. The team established new policies to support this collaboration and clarified jurisdiction over pharmaceuticals and liabilities between U.S. and Norwegian forces. Dr. Marchi collaborated closely with the Commanders to successfully plan and implement a groundbreaking joint international initiative. This initiative entailed deploying a UH-60 aeromedical evacuation platform, staffed with one U.S. flight paramedic and one Norwegian flight nurse, to enhance support combat operations in Afghanistan. The collaboration extended to Norwegian forces, with General David H. Petraeus visiting the location to observe the efforts. The Secretary of Defense of Norway and the Chief of the Swedish Air Force also came to witness the collaboration. This was significant for Sweden because, at the time, discussions were underway regarding the purchase of either UH60 Black Hawk or NH90 helicopters.

For his accomplishments while in the U.S. Army, Dr. Marchi was awarded the Meritorious Service Medal, five Air Medals, six Army Commendation Medals and a Combat Medical Badge.
