A Hospital Corpsman is a rating of the UNSC Navy and the UNSC Marine Corps.
Background
Hospital Corpsmen serve as enlisted medical specialists for the UNSC Navy and UNSC Marine Corps. They serve in a wide variety of capacities and locations, including shore establishments such as naval hospitals and clinics, aboard ships as the primary medical caregivers for Sailors while underway, or with Marine units as battlefield medics.
Traditionally, Hospital Corpsmen assume the duties normally assumed by Medics in an Army. Marines can still be heard calling for Medics when hit, despite the fact that the Marine Corps uses Corpsmen.
Gameplay
Medics do not aid the player in any way in the FPS games. In Halo Wars, however, one has the option to research Medics at the Barracks, which ads a medic to each squad of marines. He will fight alongside the others with a prototype Battle Rifle, and when the squad is idle, will automatically begin healing it. While the medic is healing the squad, an Easy difficulty shield will appear over the squad with a green cross over that.
Known Corpsman
