The only thing other than a medic-type unit I can think of would be something that spawns invisible, 1-hitpoint infantry with a cost of 20000. Nearby units would kill them and become elite.
You could attach the elite-maker infantry to a makeinfantry weapon on the officer, have him deploy to fire and each time he deploys he spawns one, making one nearby unit elite (the deploy weapon would not damage anything normally, just cause the animation).
The elite-makers would have no weapons, etc., speed of 1 (you might be allowed speed 0, never tried).
One potential problem is that nearby enemy units could kill them and become elite (but if the elite-maker has no weapons then there will be no retaliating. maybe some civilian flags could help too)
