is it written somewhere on the geneva convention that firing upon the enemy's medics are against regulations?

Question

someone clarify that for me

Answer 1

yes it is. any lawful combatant can not fire upon religious or medical staff if they are clearly marked by either a red cross or any religious symbols. Only if they commit combat actions can they be fired upon

Answer 2

I don't know what the second guy is talking about, that part of the Geneva convention is talking about neutral country medical personnel and chaplains (like the swiss or the red cross). If it is the enemy's medics on the battlefield, you can shoot them, they are combatants because they are in the military. If they are neutral country medics or chaplains medically assisting enemy soldiers, then they are non-combatants and are under protected status.

In some units, we require a medic to be in every vehicle. These soldiers are not non-combatants, they are just soldiers with medical training and an extra bag of medical supplies.

Answer 3

The First Geneva Convention deals with the presence of medical personnel on the battlefield, and special protections and requirements that apply.

Answer 4

Unfortunately, the Geneva Convention applies only to countries that signed the agreement. For example, North Vietnam was not a signatory, so they used the red/white crosses on our medevac choppers for aiming points when shooting at us.
