Original Note:
This is incorrect. Under international humanitarian law, if military personnel are engaged in combat operations, they are considered combatants. However, if they are performing rescue or medical tasks, they are not actively participating in hostilities & should be protected. https://casebook.icrc.org/a_to_z/glossary/medical-personnel https://casebook.icrc.org/law/fundamentals-ihl
