It's kind of inevitable given that the average Soviet officer would have been too young to have fought in the last big one.

A regiment is formed from 3,000 men
5 regiments form a division of 15,0000
3 divisions form a corps of 45,000
And 4 corps form an army group of 180,000

There is no real difference except maybe an Army ambulance has more atropine, blood/plasma, and saline than a civil ambulance, because it's stocked out to deal with loads of stuff like traumatic amputations and gunshot wounds. A civil ambulance would be able to deal with it too, but probably with less throughput and more bottlenecks, at least initially. Every day for the Army is training for MCI, whereas civil paramedics only deal with MCIs during major car accidents or something.
The average American regional hospital has fewer helicopters and ambulances on call than a U.S. Army CSH. OTOH a CSH has fewer beds than a typical regional hospital (a CSH is modular, but it's usually less than 200 beds; whereas a typical U.S. regional hospital is about as large as a really big CSH). So you'd ultimately be shipping the worse guys from the CSH on a Boeing or something back stateside or to Germany or whatever where they can be put up in a civilian hospital and treated as a GSW, burn ward, or traumatic amputation patient.
If by "CLS" you mean "combat lifesaver" then that is basically a Red Cross CPR course plus "Asherman seal," "pressure on wound," and "NPA". So "nothing", really.

I'd expect all hospitals, civilian and military, would very quickly be outstripped by the demand for medical care in a non-nuclear WWIII - certainly many would be flown to the US, but that leads to some grim mathematics about who gets to survive and who doesn't.
