Field Medic

Also known as combat medical technicians, corpsmen or first-aiders, they are trained in providing wound care, basic surgery and drug administration under emergency situations. They have a knowledge of anatomy and physiology. Bedside manner may or may not be included, however the mere presence of a medic on the battlefield is enough to boost morale.

Appearance: The symbol of the medic profession, a Red Cross or the Star of Life, is typically emblazoned on their uniform - perhaps in the hope that the enemy will show compassion and direct their fire elsewhere.
