This manual meets the first aid training needs of individual service members. Because medical personnel will not always be readily available, the nonmedical service members must rely heavily on their own skills and knowledge of life-sustaining methods to survive on the integrated battlefield. This publication outlines both self-aid and aid to other service members (buddy aid). More importantly, it emphasizes prompt and effective action in sustaining life and preventing or minimizing further suffering and disability. First aid is the emergency care given to the sick, injured, or wounded before being treated by medical personnel. The term first aid can be defined as “urgent and immediate lifesaving and other measures, which can be performed for casualties by nonmedical personnel when medical personnel are not immediately available.” Nonmedical service members have received basic first aid training and should remain skilled in the correct procedures for giving first aid.

Military First Aid eBook Department of Defense Reviews

I wanted a military manual for first aid and this is the latest edition in a very cool digital camo cover.
Looks to be the same basic first aid manual that I remember using in my basic training with the Army. It might have had a different cover way back then, but the contents look the same. Either way, it is still quite useful.
