Description
What is the quickest way to splint a broken leg?
How many pressure points, which can be used to control bleeding with fingers, thumbs or hands are there on the human body?
Whose first aid dressing should be used on a casualty?
Training Circular (TC) 4-02.1 provides first aid techniques and guidance for Soldiers. Implementation of the techniques presented in this publication enable Soldiers to render first aid and prevent greater harm to injured Soldiers.
Because medical personnel will not always be readily available, non-medical Soldiers must rely on themselves and other Soldiers' skills and knowledge of first aid methods to render aid until medical assistance arrives. First aid is given until medical care provided by medically trained personnel such as a combat medic or other health care provider arrives.
Training Circular 4-02.1 is designed to facilitate training and first aid competencies by bridging first aid training across the spectrum of assignments from training to permanent duty station and deployment. Tactical combat casualty care (TC3) is introduced in TC 4-02.1 with first aid tasks and procedures associated with combat situations. Individual and multiple first aid tasks in combination with collective tasks, may be integrated into various training scenarios.
There are 27 chapters each covering an individual first aid task and one appendix describing and listing the contents of the United States Army Improved First Aid Kit (IFAK) and the new IFAK II.
This is a complete revision of FM 4-25.11/NTRP 4-02.1/AFMAN 44-163(I)/MCRP 3-02G that transforms the publication to an Army training circular. It is designed to facilitate training individual tasks and combining those tasks into logical and progressive training opportunities from individual, small unit, subsequently integrated into larger and more complex training scenarios. The purpose is to integrate and maintain first aid proficiency throughout the depth and breadth of the Army formation.
