A few do not. Most do.
Yes they do and they do almost all jobs that males do. EG field medics
No, army medics are trained to provide medical care and support to injured soldiers. Their primary role is to save lives, treat injuries, and provide medical assistance in combat situations. They do not engage in combat or shoot people.
Yes, they're known as Para Rescue, although the context is a bit different from what an Army combat medic would be.
Military medical personell ARE allowed to carry firearms, to protect themselves, and the wounded under their care. In a practical situation in combat, field medics carry rifles and sidearms, as well as medical equipment and drugs for treatment of trauma. In the Canadian Forces, which I am most familiar with, they work in a group of four, two doing treatment and two covering them as protection, and to carry the treatment bags and weapons so the casualty can be evaced by litter, or vehicle, to the first medical treatment station, and eventually to a rear area hospital. Medical field staff are required to wear a Red Cross armband, to denote their status.
