Rusviet Medics — a specialized medical support unit of the Rusviet Armed Forces, providing health restoration for infantry units on the battlefield.
Historical Context

Appearance and Equipment
Medics wear uniforms similar to vanguard units, but in gray-black colors with minimal decorations. Their distinctive features include:
- Kamilavka instead of a ushanka
- Golden censer worn around the neck
- Medical bag and backpack with medical supplies
Medics are armed with modified M1895 Nagant revolvers, using 7.62×38mmR cartridges and unique gas seal systems.
