You cordon the area and make a haste LZ. If needed, the wounded soldier will be dragged off the danger zone. No need for WWII tactics.
US military don't operate where they can't outfil their soldiers.
An injured soldier will be air medivaced if serious, land medivaced if the wound is less threathning.

Nope, first thing you do is to immediately get that injured soldier out of danger, so you need to do that in the quickest way possible. You're asking for a very specific case to happen and that is never guaranteed in the heat of battle. Unless a helicopter can quantum leap to where the injured soldier is, then the squad needs to carry him/her away from fire and that takes a lot of upper body strength since you need to not just carry the soldier, but also the person's equipment along with yours. If a woman can do all those things, awesome. If not, then she's not fit for the front lines.

First you cordon(secure) the area to ensue squad safety. This is not tagging on Gears of War.
Then you proceed to make an LZ, because there are always helis on station (air), be it Apache or Black Hawk. You gonna always have air support whenever you leave FOB (forward operating base).
Before you carry an injured soldier, after you done everything above, you take his body armor and perform first aid. You DON'T CARRY anyone, unless you're absolutely sure you won't further diminish his/her survival chances.
