About

CHAPTER 1 GENERAL 1-1. Purpose and Scope a, 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 nonmedicai personnel. Even though the manual uses the terms "soldier" and "he/shis," the procedures discussed apply to all types of casualties/victims; and the measures described are for use by male and female soldiers alike. b. Part One is an introductory discussion of first aid.
