Yes the Army can help with you becoming a paramedic. You would need to become a Class 1 CMT first and then develop your portfolio, attend the interview process and if successful you would then attend a 3 year university degree which is fully funded, full support for this will be given throughout however it does require a lot of personal development work from yourself and would also require a 3 year return of service.
