Ceralyte, Bactracin, Ibuprofen, Tylenol. Really don't usually even need most things you bring but it is always going to be best to pack what is considered the "essentials" and any meds/items that are specific to the field environment you will be in. (Most common injuries/illnesses for that field terrain, mission activity, and climate you are in.)

One thing to add (not a medicine per say) is flea and tick powder. You'll need those medications for sure if you don't have that!

We were issued Atropine Syrette, Morphine Syrette, little first aid kit clipped on our web gear, otherwise yell "Medic". Don't recall much more but I am sure it was more than I recall now.
