Pre-deployment checklists, cheat sheets and other resources now updated! Everything I am posting below could help anyone who finds themselves in over their heads in both actual Prolonged Field Care situations and training events. Print the following forms and cheatsheets and get familiar with using them. These are the same things that I personally pack in my aidbags and pelican boxes along with many other SOF medics with whom we have worked and trained. It won’t take much effort but will pay dividends later if the shit hits the fan. Everything posted below is available on different parts of the site but I wanted to put all of this stuff in one place for you easily pick through. It may look like too much but I promise it will help, THE HARD WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE BY YOUR OWN PEERS WHO HAVE LEARNED THE HARD WAY!
