Heartbreak Ridge (1986)

Corrected entry: Whenever a Marine Corps unit goes anywhere they are accompanied by a United States Navy Corpsman. So when Profile gets hit a "doc" should have been there to be responsible for medical care. Although Marines are trained in basic injury care, they are still accompanied by a Corpsman per unit.

Correction: Recon units have SARC's or Special Amphibious Reconnaissance Corpsman. If they were in fact going into combat in Grenada they would never have left without a SARC.

Correction: Force Recon troops are like Army SF or Navy SEALS. Each trooper has several jobs. So, no corpsman would have accompanied them. However, one of them should have had training equal to a corpsman or better.
