First aid is given until medical care provided by medically trained personnel such as a combat medic or other health care provider arrives.The individual being provided first aid (by self-aid, buddy aid, or combat lifesaver) is considered a casualty. Once medically trained personnel (combat medic, paramedic, or other health care provider) initiates care, the casualty is then considered to be a patient.Training Circular 4-02.1 provides first aid procedures for nonmedical personnel in environments from home station to combat situations. This publication is meant to be used by trainers and individuals being trained based on common first aid tasks. Tasks are found in the Soldier's Manual of Common Tasks, Warrior Skills Level 1, and appropriate modified tasks from the Soldier's Manual and Trainer's Guide, Military Occupational Specialty (MOS) 68W. These tasks are meant to reinforce and maintain proficiency in correct procedures for giving first aid throughout a Soldier's time in Service.Training Circular 4-02.1 is designed to facilitate training and first aid competencies by bridging first aid training across the spectrum of assignments from training to permanent duty station and deployment.
