When disaster strikes and medical personnel are not readily available, it is the knowledge and behavior of the non-medical people present that save lives. This book covers both self-aid, and aid to others ("buddy aid"). Foremost, it provides the tools you and your comrades require to promptly and effectively sustain life, and minimize suffering and disability.
Covering topics not found in civilian guides including nuclear, biological and chemical situations and first aid for psychological reactions to stress and trauma, this indispensable book is essential preparedness for every home, business and vehicle.
This edition supersedes the old FM 21-11.
