Although technically Navy personnel, the hospital corpsmen serving as "Devil Docs" alongside Marines are deployed as integral parts of their units. Typically found at the platoon level, corpsmen are well-trained in combat medicine, and are increasingly capable in providing prolonged care for Marines in far-flung expeditionary settings.

While handling surgeries and chronic conditions are best handled further behind the lines, corpsmen are capable of getting injured Marines back in the fight with a combination of medical training, a pack laden with interventions, and an invocation of the storied Saints Motrin and Hydration.

Thanks to decades of fighting enemies for whom the Geneva Conventions are taken as a vague suggestion, if at all, corpsmen are usually found with the same combat load as their Marine counterparts and are trained in basic infantry skills as well.
