“If you have an unused med kit that works on others, you must give it to those who need it—be they friendly or enemy,” the Red Cross says. “The Rules of War mandate that the sick and wounded—no matter which side they’re on—have the right to be cared for.”
This only works in a game where you have a fourth state - stabilised/captured - and not just combat ready/downed/dead. Because if you don't have that fourth state then you are restoring an enemy combatant to full fighting capability, and the only reason why there's any obligation to provide medical care is because that's not what happens in real life.
I can think of ways to implement it that might even be fun/intersting, but my gut feeling is that it'll not only slow down gameplay a lot, but be open to abuse.

America's Army did this correctly, which is hardly surprising. You got points for securing downed combatants.
