Manual - Department Of The Army Field: First Aid For Soldiers

The purpose of this manual is to describe first aid measures, to explain how and when to apply them, and to emphasize the significance of prompt, effective first aid. The measures described can be applied as self help as well as help to others. Since first aid is the emergency care given to the sick, injured, or wounded before medical treatment can be administered by medical personnel, this manual is directed to nonmedical personnel.
