Isn't that rather because doctor/nurse etc. are traditionally non-combat positions? Are there any doctors in the marine corps (as opposed to medics), frex? So somebody came up with the idea of the non-combat medic.
But yeah, the idea that you can have a whole section of your medics that are officially non-combatant is logistically bizarre.
