Army Field Manual FM 4-52 (First Aid)

"This manual meets the first aid training needs of individual service members. Because medical personnel will not always be readily available, the non-medical service members must rely heavily on their own skills and knowledge of life-sustaining methods to survive on the integrated battlefield. This publication outlines both self-aid and aid to other service members. More importantly, it emphasizes prompt and effective action in sustaining life and preventing or minimizing further suffering and disability. First aid is the emergency care given to the sick, injured or wounded before being treated by medical personnel."¿From the Preface.United States Army Staff is the author of 'Army Field Manual FM 4-52 (First Aid)', published 2007 under ISBN 9781420928389 and ISBN 1420928384.
