Medical

Info
Medical (MeD) units are Recruits (RcT), who have had previous medical experience before joining The Union, or have an interest of learning medicinal skills. If a RcT wants to become a MeD unit and they have medical experience, then they're put to the test and have to show their knowledge on a live wounded Union unit; depending on the RcT's experience, they're are given different patients to heal. Ex. If they have little knowledge they are given a patient with minor injuries, and if they have very extensive knowledge then they may have to preform a surgery that means life or death. If the RcT passes their test, then they are taught more about medicine and first aid skills.

If a RcT doesn't have any prior medical knowledge, then they are put into classes that teach them about medical procedures and first aid skills. After said classes, the RcT is given a live patient to work on and show their newly learned skills. If this test is passed, then they are put into even more medical training.

Once the RcT's training is complete they are made a MeD unit. Once they are given their new rank, they go through a few CQC and firearm training course, but not as much as a normal military unit, as they must focus more on practicing their medical skills.

Equipment
MeD units are issued a standard Union uniform, a low caliber sidearm, a combat knife, a first aid kit, and a mask unique to MeD units. A MeD recieves a medium kevlar vest, if they are required to go out into the field for any reason, but don't wear a vest normally.

Permissions
MeD units have the same permissions as a normal Grunt (GnT), but are allowed to command any unit under the rank of Petty Officer (PfC) if it means saving the life of someone.

Patrol
MeD units normally don't go on any kind of patrol, and stay in Union camps, forts, etc., but are allowed on a patrol if their comrades are going to be in danger and may not be able to get to a Union camp in time to get their wounds treated.
