there is not a set salary for a combat medic... It all depends on your ranking within the military.

You can pull up pay charts for time in service/rank, etc... To see exactly what the monetary reward is.

A combat medic is in charge of the physical well being of his platoon. In a garrison environment, the medic is in charge of everything from running daily sick call to acting as a life guard during water PT (if certified). When the unit deploys, the medic goes on every mission. If the unit comes under attack, the medic is in charge of casualty triage, care under fire, tacticle field care and casevac.

Well, you need to define your terms. In the US Military, pay is based on your grade (rank) and length of service. There is no "combat specialty" class. In addition to base pay, a service member will also draw hazardous duty pay if they are currently serving in combat, flying, parachuting or working with explosives. Service members may also draw benefits for quarters and rations (housing and meals) IF those are not provided by the military.

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).

What is a combat medics work environment?

Typically, when someone is talking about a combat medic, they are talking about a line medic. A line medic is attached to a unit both in combat and in a garrison environment. A line medic does many of the same things in garrison that he would do during a deployment. This could be running daily sick call or acting as a lifeguard during water PT. When that same unit deploys, the medic would still run sick call, but when the platoon goes out on a mission, the medic goes with them. If the unit is hit while on mission, the medic is in charge of everything from casualty triage (determining the order in which casualties should be treated) to the actual treatment of everything from amputations to breathing problems to bloody noses or twisted ankles. The combat medic is one of the most important people in the unit. It is important that he take his job very seriously so that the men in his unit know they can depend on him.
