Fleet Corpsman O.C.C.
   Fleet Corpsman are actually medically trained naval enlisted men and non-commissioned officers assigned to Expeditionary Force Marines and Mechanized Infantry units. All medical services required by the UEEF marines are provided by the fleet. Fleet Corpsmen undergo marine infantry in addition to medical schooling, so they are not a liability to the marines they serve with during combat. During combat, if there are no wounded being tended to, they are expected to pick up a rifle and fight the enemy just like everyone else in their unit.
   While not full medical doctors, they are able to perform field surgery and attend to life-threating wounds on the battlefield. Given the high lethality of battle involving Robotechnology and Reflex weaponry, often all the corpsman can do is stabilize the patient and get them ready for evacuation to a field hospital or other facility with advanced medical equipment and fully trained doctors.
   Enlisted Fleet Corpsman Operate under their own ranking system. Typically, only those of Hospital Corpsman Third Class rank or higher (E-4) are assigned to infantry platoons, giving them the equivalent rank of a marine corporal. Lower ranks are typically assigned to bases, field hospitals, ships and clinics until they are experienced enough to work in the field. All fleet corpsman players characters start at E-4 rank.

E-1: Hospitalman Recruit
