The squad will promote reform in medical support methods during warfare and play an important role in non-combat military operations such as disaster rescue and relief, the report quoted an unnamed PLA official as saying.
The 40-member squad is comprised of 37 officers majoring in medical care and three female soldiers majoring in nursing.
