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 medical equipment did a fallschirmjager medic carry?

Your question has a couple different answers. The first answer would be for an EM medic assign to a FJ Infantry unit. The medic at this level would carry a cloth bag designed specifically for the FJ medic. The bag contained basically the same items a Heer medic would carry in the leather pouches issued to non-FJ troops. In addition to the cloth bag, the medic would be issued a larger canteen used by medic personnel. The next level would be for the FJ medic NCO. In addition to the cloth bag, and canteen, he would be issued a backpack containing additional bandage material, a small pouch containing medic tools, and lastly, additional drugs not issued to the EM medic. When you move beyond these two, you are primarily asking about field medical units. These would be staffed by doctors in addition to the EM/NCOs assigned to a field medic unit. I hope this helps to answer you question. If you are looking for information on specific items carried, I can provide this information.

Is anyone on this site a us army medic?

I was a Combat Medic in the Regular Army from 1998 to 2002, and then in the Army National Guard from 2002 - 2006. When I enlisted, the MOS was 91B, and it was actually called Combat Medic (and was exclusive to line units). With the reoorganisation the MOS was changed to 68W, which was now called Healthcare Specialist, and was no longer exclusive to line units.

How do you become a combat medic?

Same as any other job in the military. Go to a recruiter, score well enough on the ASVAB to qualify and tell your recruiter that you want to be a medic. Make sure it says medic (68W in the US army) on your contract.
