Peer comment(s):

neutral Steven Blanchard : A Troop is a formation, as in Troop, Squadron or Company, Regiment or Battalion and so on. If anything, in connection with the British Army the adequate phrase would be "Medical Corp". Also, the rank L/Cpl applies to both Gefreiter and Obergefreiter.

Thanks Steven, not so sure why people who get a neutral have to reply with another neutral. I may be totally wrong with my answer though.
agree Maya Jurt : Medical CorpS or Staff or Unit

Thanks Mays, yes, Medical Corps
agree Wolf Brosius (X) : Medic is common slang for a medical NCO, troop may refer more to a soldier without rank. Both Gefreiter and O/Gefreiter are addressed as corporal.

Best would probable be to write "Medical orderly with the rank of lance corporal (private first class)"

Below a sample of a (Australian) lance corporal working for a Health Support Battalion - seems to me to be a medical orderly:

An Indonesian nurse embraces Lance Corporal Heidi Turnbull from the 1st Health Support Battalion (Sydney) to say thank you for the efforts of all the ANZAC medical staff as the Infectious Diseases Ward is handed back to the Banda Aceh Public Hospital.

Please refer to above Royal Army Medical Corp (British Army) site. You will see that the term "Medical orderly" is regularly used. A trade name specific to the rank of the soldier is not mentioned.
