a. The combat lifesaver is a bridge between the self-aid/buddy-aid (first aid)
training given all soldiers during basic training and the medical training given to the
combat medic. The combat lifesaver is a nonmedical soldier who provides lifesaving
measures as a secondary mission as his primary (combat) mission allows. The combat
lifesaver may also assist the combat medic in providing care and preparing casualties
for evacuation when the combat lifesaver has no combat duties to perform.
b. Normally, one member of each squad, crew, or equivalent-sized unit will be
trained as a combat lifesaver.
c. A major advantage of the combat lifesaver is that he will probably be nearby if
a member of his squad or crew is injured. It may take a combat medic several minutes
or longer to reach the casualty, especially if there are several other casualties and/or
the medic is at another location. The combat lifesaver is trained to provide immediate
care that can save a casualty's life, such as stopping severe bleeding and performing
needle chest decompression for a casualty with tension pneumothorax.
