Synopsis

Basic battlefield and military first aid training responsibilities are shared by the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines. Injuries, wounds, and casualties are similar at the basic level. Additional specialties are addressed as necessary in each individual branch. This field training workbook is used as a quick reference manual for supportive care as well as guidance for the total skills competency required of medical personnel. In addition to providing the most concise information for consistent training and efficient learning, this text also provides guidance for diagnostics and self-testing. It is an indispensable tool in preparing for both standardized competencies testing and real-world practice of medical skills. The materials combined in this book provide complete, easily understandable, and well-planned learning tools for both military and civilian students. The nation’s nursing and medical staff shortage continues to have the potential to negatively impact the quality and safety of patient care both in civilian and military medical treatment facilities. Insufficient Army nursing capacity and in some cases low density specialties can threaten the viability of current and future AMEDD missions. The United States military is recognized internationally as the standard for complete, efficient and effective adult education. The military has a tradition of pioneering training systems that then transition into the corporate civilian sector. This manual has been continuously tested and updated to successfully educate every member of the modern United States Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marines.
