While they were rarely recognized or recipients of any of the glory in the field, the medics were an essential part of military battle. The brave medic has the training and skills to fight like a soldier but also to save the lives of his injured men on the battlefield. Combat medicine evolved significantly with time. In years past, generals saw no point in trying to save lives. They simply instructed their armies to return to the battlefield to retrieve the dead at a later point.

Combat medicine evolved to where armies trained soldiers like Medic Martinez, to serve double duty. Napoleon Bonaparte is said to have been one of the first to take steps to save the lives of his wounded men on the battlefield. Under his direction, Surgeon Dominique Jean Larrey spearheaded the development of mobile field hospitals. He also trained soldiers to provide aid to those injured on the battlefield.
