About

1. Purpose and Scope The purpose of this manual is to provide the basic fundamentals of first aid care and treatment which you can apply to yourself or to another soldier before the arrival of trained medical personnel. It includes instructions in first aid measures to take for special injuries such as chest and belly wounds; common emergencies, such as snake bite and drowning; injuries resulting from contact with chemicals, such as war gases and propellant fuels and oxidizers; and how to transport the sick and wounded so as not to aggravate their condition or endanger their life. 2. General a. First aid is the care given casualties before regular medical or surgical treatment can be administered by trained individuals. The Army Medical Service has the finest equipment available, and its personnel have been trained in the most modern methods of saving life and easing pain.
