I don't know about other nations of course, but Recruit/basic training in Australia includes first aid. Every soldier is expected to treat their own injury if possible while waiting for the medics. If not, then once the immediate battle is won, their sectionmates are to do it.
Essentially the training is similar to senior first aid certificates offered by such organisations as the Red Cross to civilians, but includes a bit more on traumatic injury and less on such things as stroke and epilepsy.
