Military First Aid

Military first aid is taught within the cadet forces - this is generally only taught to more advanced cadets, and should only be used in a military scenario. This could be in a competition, or exercise, but in all other instances civilian first aid should be used. Military first aid takes into account the dangers of combat and a combat zone, and also utilises different equipment.

The information in this section is based on the Army publication Battlefield Casualty Drills Aide Memoire. It can be accessed here.

This should not be taken as first aid advice - the following information is applicable to scenarios and competitions where military first aid is required.
