It varies based on availability, units purpose, and Commanders. Ideally 1 per squad so for a company 13-15 corpsman. This rarely ever happens and the actual number ends up being about 4-8. During the Vietnam conflict the Table of Organization called for 10 per company, but 5 was routine and acceptable.

What weapons are a Corpsman allowed to utilize?
We are trained to utilize almost every weapon an infantry marine is trained to use. Depending on what type of corpsman IE recon corpsmen you are trained in almost every weapon the marines use and if you are a seal corpsmen you are trained in pretty much the use of all weapons/explosives. When i was deployed with the marines I carried an M4(smaller version of the m16) and a m9. I was trained on using the 50 cal, the m9, the 249 saw, m16/m4. This was for just incase purposes if i ever needed to pick up and use of the weapons in a certain situation. It just depends on what type of corpsmen you are and the situation you will be in. We rarley try to carry many weapons because we would rather carry medical aid supplies in place of those weapons. I hope this helped.
