There should be a squad that's dedicated to only rescuing soldiers and civilians who have their pants down. Their job is basically to rush injured military dwarves, risking their lives on the battlefield. You can also control where they go on the battlefield.


Mostly, in peacetime, they train their dodging, speed, and shield use. They also sleep and eat in the same barrack. Also, you can awake them for emergency sessions, although that result in unhappy thoughts.

All of this is already possible with the current tools available. Simply draft and equip your desired medics, stick them in a danger room. When you're satisfied with their skills set their squad to deactive/uniformed. They will now run about performing any civilian duties you've set them to while wearing armor/using equipment.

There's always room for improvement, especially if the current solution involves exploits and other stuff.

In effect, this suggestion can be broken up in 2 mechanics
       -A training focus mechanic, allowing you to focus training of squads on certain aspects
       -Civilian squads/armour, that can be assigned specific jobs in specific areas more easily.

The point of the suggestion is to have some dedicated dwarfs that would rush toward the battlefield, snatch gravely injured away from Valkyrie's hands, cram them into nearest hospital bed and give an encouraging kick to a nearby doctor.
The current system only allows you to have your benign low quality workforce turn into murderous killing machines of death in one snap.

Having your soldiers not rush in blindly but to focus on their actual task would be certainly nice.
And alarm system where a captain would rush into barracks  (or soldier rooms) and kicking them out of beds seems like an interesting idea too.
