Most corpsmen were assigned to U.S. Navy hospitals or ships, but a select few were sent to serve with the Marines. The corpsmen who served with the Fleet Marine Force had to undergo Marine boot camp, where they were trained in combat and weapons skills, even though the Geneva Conventions expressly prohibit medical personnel from carrying weapons. These corpsmen displayed a red cross insignia on their person or helmet to show they were noncombatants, although a sidearm strapped to the hip sometimes contradicted that assertion.
