Medic

The Medic is a command and support role whose primary responsibility is to look after his teammates' health during combat. It is available to all factions.

Description
The Medic uses field dressings and a medical kit to bandage (or "patch") bleeding, revive incapacitated (or "downed"), and heal wounded teammates, saving his team from losing precious tickets. He can also bandage 25% faster than standard roles. For instructions on bandaging, reviving, and healing, see Health Management. As of Beta 20, Medics also revive teammates much faster than other roles.

The Medic's loadout includes:


 * 1) A standard rifle and pistol
 * 2) One or two high-explosive frag grenades
 * 3) Two smoke grenades for cover
 * 4) Nine field dressings for bandaging bleeding or reviving incapacitated teammates
 * 5) A medical kit for healing wounded teammates
 * 6) An entrenching tool for constructing deployables
 * 7) A pair of binoculars (no optics/close range Medics only) Resupplying costs 25 ammo points.

List of one grenade Medics:

 * These Medic kits only carry one frag grenade, and are usually the kits with no optics/better suited to closer ranged engagements. The only exceptions are the second Medic kits of the Canadian Army, Irregular Militia, and Insurgents whose respective second Medic kits have their primary weapons equipped with scopes for longer ranged use. Another exception is the first Medic kit of the British Army with the same loadout style.
 * Russian Ground Forces (first kit)
 * US Army (first kit)
 * British Army (first kit)
 * Middle Eastern Alliance (first kit)
 * Both Canadian Army Medic kits
 * Insurgents (second kit)
 * Irregular Militia (second kit)

List of two grenade Medics:

 * There are only two of these kits in the game, and both are given to the close range Medic kits of the unconventional factions.
 * Insurgents (first kit)
 * Irregular Militia (first kit)

Tips
"The Medic (or Doc) is the life-blood of your Squad. Without your Medic your Squad cannot hope to function at full effectiveness in the heat of battle. As the Doc, your primary responsibility is to look after injured team mates. You are not there to do the fighting. Of all the Kit choices, where the decision between Specialisation/Rifleman comes into play, the Medic should always be on the side of caution. If the Medic goes down, the team goes down."

 * The Medic should never be ahead of his squad; stay together, and the squad's chances of survival will be higher.
 * The Medic should always be the last one to die; protecting your medics is of top priority during an engagement.
 * Whenever possible, always revive a downed medic first before reviving your other teammates so that you have a second medic assisting you in the process.
 * Always have a medic in your squad at all times.
