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.

Can an army medic start an iv?
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).
Who is eligible combat medic badge?
It used to be only Combat Medics who held the 91B MOS. With the reorganisation which occurred within the Army from 2001 - 2004, 91B was folded into the 68W MOS ("healthcare specialist"), and anyone with a 68 series MOS became eligible for the Combat Medic badge. So, rather than being exclusive to line medics, as it once was, any fobbit working the prescription counter and who never leaves the wire earns a CMB.
