Combat medics
They can serve in the medical field, but they can't be actual combat medics.

Combat medics typically carry a range of medical supplies to provide emergency care on the battlefield. Their gear often includes bandages, tourniquets, splints, antiseptics, intravenous (IV) fluids, and pain relief medications. Additionally, they may carry personal protective equipment and portable diagnostic tools to assess and treat injuries effectively. The exact contents can vary based on mission requirements and the medic's training.
No - Navy personnel fill that role.

There are a number of types of 'medics' there are emergency response medics, combat medics and first aiders, who all need different kinds of training. Each are involved in different fields of aid and have their own specialties.
A few do not. Most do.
68Ws (Combat Medics)
Yes they do and they do almost all jobs that males do. EG field medics
Yes, we do. Army medics used to only carry a 9mm handgun to protect themselves and their patients. Since previous wars were fought against enemies who mostly followed the rules set by the Geneva Convention, that was all we needed. However, the enemies we fight now have no respect for these rules. Tacticle Combat Casualty Care requires that we suppress enemy fire first. These days, army medics (at least in my brigade) carry an M9 handgun and an M4 rifle. We carry both so that if the situation permits, we can leave the rifle with someone so that our hands are free to treat a casualty. Or, if the situation does not allow, we have our rifle to return effective fire. Hope this helps.
Yes, they're known as Para Rescue, although the context is a bit different from what an Army combat medic would be.
