Do you have to join the armed forces to join the coast guard?
The Coast Guard is a branch of the US Military, so yes.
Are medics allowed to pull guard duty?
No. They carry weapons for defensive purposes only.
AnswerNot only no but NO NO NO NO!!!!! If you are a medic, you are not a combatant under the Geniva Conventions, and are treated differently because you are charged with the medical care of the other POW's. Carry/use an offensive weapon, you are the same classification as the rest of the prisoners. AnswerWhile the second answer above is technically correct, the shift in current combat is to have medics carry weapons, and essentially consider "medic" as just another specialty for the combat infantryman. This is primarily due to the way modern warfare is fought, which tends to be between an organized military and an irregular (guerrilla/insurgent/etc.) force. Guerrilla forces are notorious for not adhering to the Geneva Conventions, so leaving your medic to be at the mercy of folks who don't recognize that person's protected status is unwise. So, sadly, medics now carry weapons. And, thus, they get treated as standard infantrymen.Baron de Montesquiev
When has the US used the National Guard?
1636 it was the first military branch in the U.S.A.
While it is true that the Guard in a sense have been around since the first pilgrims landed. Colonists had to have volunteers guard the citizenry against hostiles and wild animals and the like. Our country has had a proud history of volunteer soldiers dating back to (as the first writer states) 1636. In 1776 during the revolutinary war, the states were given power to appoint officers and train militia. In 1825 the New Yourk militia named themselves the "National Guard" after Lafayette's unit that he called "Garde Nationale." However, in all reality the Guard as we know it was first intitiutionalized by the "Militia Act of 1903", thus creating the modern day National Guard which had to meet certain criteria to qualify for federal funding.
