    Hello,

    In short, yes.

    All deployments and exercises will undergo a medical risk assessment. Depending on the level of risk and the number of soldiers, certain medical cover will be provided. Sometimes it may be a combat medical technician with remote supervision, but sometimes a doctor and a small clinical team will be required.
