Combat Casualty Care

Combat Casualty Care refers to the medical practices and procedures used to treat injured service members in a combat environment. It involves immediate first aid provided by fellow soldiers, advanced medical care by trained medics, and evacuation to higher-level medical facilities. The focus is on saving lives and preventing further injury through techniques like hemorrhage control, airway management, and treating shock. This care is essential in the battlefield, where timely and effective medical intervention can significantly improve survival rates and outcomes for injured personnel.
