Generally not, though increasing numbers of infantrymen are being put through the Battlefield Medic course to train them to provide an advanced standard of first aid in addition to their primary role, similar to a combat lifesaver. When my squadron deployed to Afghanistan, nearly every man was trained as a BFM.
