Hopefully!

If I read this right, you want to create a detachment of one man plus
the
casualty, and have the man carry the casualty to the medic? Yes, that is
allowed.

However, as you can see, you would be better off to organize your units
so the
medic is in a squad by himself, or is an independent character.

Yes, that is possible.

Yes, the troops can move their base movement to get within integrity
range.

squads.

This is one way to rule. The rulebook doesn't really cover this
situation
well. In reality, the units would form ad hoc squads and operate as new
units.
(See Stephen Ambrose's book _Band of Brothers_). You should probably
allow the
detached elements to operate as independent squads. They would attempt
to link
up with their squad, but they should be able to fight and move like a
regular
squad until that happens.
