Combat Medics do many different things to help their patients. In a garrison environment, the medic runs daily sick call, tracks the unit's medical readiness, provides medical coverage for firing or demolition ranges and provides general medical guidance.

If the unit comes under attack, the medic is in charge of triage, care under fire, tacticle field care and evacuation of all casualties. Basically, the Combat Medic handles everything in the unit that has anything to do with anyone's physical well-being. Combat Medics are trained in many skills. They are taught many different kinds of splints. They can give medications. They can manage a person's airway, or, if there is no airway, create one. Medics are also trained to suppress enemy fire and do all the same things that any other soldier is taught.

Do army medics have to fight in war?
Yes, definitely. However, the type of medic you are makes a big difference in what you will be doing. If you are a general medic (Healthcare Specialist, MOS 68W) you could end up doing many different things. Some medics work in the Troop Medical Clinic, which is where soldiers go when they are sick or injured. Alternatively, you can be a line medic and work with a platoon, providing most of their basic healthcare needs. I am currently a line medic deployed to Iraq with a Combat Engineer company. I have about 26 guys that i take care of. When they are sick, they come to me and i can give them medicine or whatever they need. When they roll out the gate on missions, combat or otherwise, i go with them. I carry a bag full of emergency medical supplies in case someone gets hurt. There are also other medical specialties you can go into. The bottom line is almost all medics deploy.
