Medic (Military Role)

The Combat Medic/Healthcare Specialist is an Infantry type meant for healing the wounded when in battle.
== Description ==
The Combat Medic/Healthcare Specialist is responsible for providing emergency treatment at a point of wounding in combat or training environment, as well as primary care, and health protection and evacuation from a point of injury or illness. Additionally, medics may also be responsible for the creation, oversight, and execution of long-term patient care plans. 
== Training ==
All Combat Medic training takes place at Sogtish Joint Base San Floptario, Here, among other medical jobs, Army Combat Medics, Air Force Medical Technicians, and Navy Hospital Corpsman complete their respective medical training programs. While there are similarities in the training and skills, each branch also incorporates training specific to their services needs and mission. Although Medics are certified at EMT-B level upon graduation, their scope often parallels and sometimes urpasses the Paramedic Role. Although most of the training translates into civilian certifications/licenses, medics often train and practice on skills and with medications outside of their civilian counterparts' scope of practice. Many programs are dedicated to and who provide preference for military medics transitioning into Paramedic, Registered Nurse (RN), and Physician Assistant (PA) educations.
== Assignments ==
Hospitals and Clinics: Combat Medic may be assigned to combat support Clinic units, and/or Military treatment centers
== Field Units ==
Combat Medic field units are assigned to non-medical fields such as: Infantry, Armored Cavalry, Combat engineers, ect. A Medic Platoon will show and will Evacuate an injured Soldier via Ambulance or stretcher. The Battalion Aid Station (BAS)/Medics function similar to an urgent care/ small emergency department depending on size and resources. Under the direction of the medical provider and team leaders or sergeants, they intake, triage, and stabilize or treat patients for transfer to another tier or discharge. Battalion Aid Stations are more mobile than Combat Support Hospitals, but have less resources available. They are intended to move as the unit advances, whereas a Combat Support Hospital would have a more long-term fixed position.
Line medics are the most independent of the 3. Although they belong to Headquarters, they are attached to other platoons within a company and oversee the medical care of the soldiers assigned to them which can be anywhere from 30 to 60 Soldiers.
== Equipment ==
Medical personnel from most western nations carry weapons for protection of themselves and their patients but remain designated non-combatants, wearing the red cross, crescent or crystal. In the United Flops Armed Forces,, MEDEVAC Vehicles will display a large Red Cross on a white background; however, ground forces do not display this due to increased targeting of medical personnel by insurgents. Traditionally, most United Flops of America medical personnel also wore a distinguishing red cross, to denote their protection as non-combatants under the Geneva Convention. This practice continued into World War II.
== World War 2 Equipment ==
During Great Floppa War most Medical Units were equipped with A Mosin-Flopgant or even the SVT-14. Both Nafi and UFA Medic's wore a steel helmet such as the M1 Steel helmet with a Red Cross on the front with white surrounding it, both Nafi and UFA Medic's also wore the standard Infantry Uniform with a strap across the right or left arm, with a Red Cross logo as-well as an ALICE Rig filled with their Ammo, Medical Supplies such as: Bandages, Alcohol Wipes or the beverage itself, ect.
