Quick question.
Right now I'm running a fortress with a population cap of 100. With this I normally run 2 squads of military dwarves on a full 24/7 training, no breaks. However, sometimes I get a dwarf that has a too-military name for him to be any kind of hauler, so I have a third ''reserve'' force that I don't make active. They still equip themselves and train, but aren't regulary infantry. They're just there so that when groups 1 or 2 lose troops, I have guys that can replace them that aren't fresh out of the box. My question is this; Normally for my reserve force I give no damns about what their labors are. However, I got one guy who's a halfway decent doctor [Field Medic, go!] and I was wondering if he will still do his doctor-ly duties despite being in an inactive military unit? Will his random training sessions take priority over patching up Urist McBrokenface?

If he's inactive, he should do any civilian job that he is set to do. But if he's in the middle of archery practice or combat drill, it might take him a little while to get there.

Well that's good. I mean, I have several other medical personnel, set to do nothing but that, who are better at it. I just wanted to see if the combat medic could lend a hand if needed. Thanks.
