Please correct me if my statements are wrong.
Kom'rk from Null Squad has a jetpack, bacta kit, and a bacta grenade. (I understand he's listed under SOBDE, but I had to list him for an example.)
The subunit 2ndAC, from the 212th Attack Battalion, has a class called "2nd Airborne Company Medical Trooper." I believe this class contains the jetpack and a bacta kit.
Troopers from the 187th commence missions from the sky. (Most of the time.) It would make sense for them to have a medical trooper that can fly with a squad with the paratroopers. I completely understand how that may be annoying for the members. You would have to pick the medic up and bring him with your squad/group. The squad/group would feel the Medic is dead weight for the following...
The troopers would have to keep track of the Medic. Making sure he/she is following the squad.
The Medic may not have max running skills.
The Medic may not be able to cross over areas such as hills, mountains, lakes, and etc. If they had a jetpack, it would make it easier for them to follow the squad/group.
Overall, I'm trying to see the pros and cons. The 2ndAC have 10 slots and he's asking for the same.
