With Doctors, are they able to chose to be deployed in combat/frontline environments, or is it namely at hospitals?

    Hello,

    Doctors' locations will be based on their specialty and current role.

    A GP who looks after an infantry unit may be further forward than a surgeon in a small 'hospital' for example.

    Most doctors start out as GDMOs (pre specialty training) and they tend to be based in similar environments to the GPs.
