The lifespan of a comat medic is difficult to measure because medics are set apart in many ways. In WWII medics in Europe were expected to die of indirect fire (mortars, rockets, etc.) because both Allied and Nazi soldiers had a sort of unwritten code of conduct not to target these soldiers on the battlefield. When you watch the War Movies you may see medics in the middle of a firefight exposed to enemy fire but apparently untouchable, this is not an exageration. On the flip side, WWII medics in the Pacific theater were targeted above officers by Japanese troops because of their effect both on the battlefield and on morale. For this reason the white cross and red background were eventually removed from soldiers and marines in the Pacific theater. The lessons of the Pacific theater were applied in the Vietnam War as medics were often the first targets in a firefight (if seen). Most units try to keep the medic to the rear so 'Doc' can save casualties rather than become one. In Iraq and Afghanistan, medics serve in multiple roles, but are often shielded from harm by experienced units so they may save the lives of wounded soldiers. Medics are prohibited by the Geneva convention from doing many of the things their infantry brothers are expected to do in combat because medics are considered non-combatants. This terminology is not respected by most enemies. Even non-combatants, however, are allowed to defend themselves from enemy fire. The life expectancy of a soldier fighting in Iraq, wether medic or infantry, is measured in terms of years, however, because of the low number of deaths in Iraq (3,000 + in a 5 year war is unheard of in modern warfare).
The length of the battle. If the medic is doing his job, he's moving from casualty to casualty...all the while exposing himself to enemy fire. While the grunts are ducking for cover, the medics crawling from wounded man to wounded man (or dead man to dead man, to varify his status).

Medics are no longer trained to expose themselves during combat. The reason behind this is the medic is an extremely vital part of any mission. We will usually send out a litter bearer team to collect and retrieve any casualties and bring the casualty to us in a secure location.
Retaking the city of Hue in '68...one day. Patrolling in Con Thien (US Army terms were A4 and C2 for those firebases); two or three patrols.
Yes the can, some non medic soldiers also get training on starting iv's by going through the combat life savers course. Since the reorganisation of Army MOS structure circa 2001 - 2002, the MOS of Combat Medic has been greatly expanded, and also covers a lot of personnel who previously wouldn't have been classed as combat medics under the old structure (91B was the MOS for a Combat Medic previously - now it's 68W). With the reorganisation, new requirements were put in place for Combat Medics, one of which was that a Combat Medic should hold a basic EMT licence (national registry).

Distance will determine that.
The average life expectancy in India is 67 years old. The life expectancy in Switzerland is 85 years old. The life expectancy in the United States is 80 years old.
The CIA World Factbook states that 2010 figures for the life expectancy of people in Australia is 79.33 years for men and 84.25 years for women. Australia has the eighth highest life expectancy in the world.
There is no set life expectancy of an officer in combat. This is something that is completely dependent on the skill of the officer in question.

The life expectancy of the servicemen depended on the job position the service person had. For instance if you were a ball turret gunner your life expectancy was three hours. If you were a General you were expected to live to see the end of the war or at least get close to the end of the war. If you were a nurse or doctor you could expect to live through most of the war but if you were a "medic" or rather an army corpsman you had a life expectancy of 3 hours too.
AnswerIt depended on the position they had. An infantry platoon commander in combat had an average of 6 weeks life expectancy. Foot soldiers went by the grace of God, but had a better chance than the infantry platoon commander in combat. During the Vietnam war the helicopters that came in to transport soldiers were the hardest hit with mass casualties.AnswerIn Stalingrado the average life expectancy of a Russian soldier was 24 hours.
