This edition supersedes the old FM 4-25.11 and older FM 21-11.
"The fate of the wounded rests in the hands of the ones who apply the first dressing" - Nicholas Senn, 1898 (49th President, American Medical Association)
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.
Use this book to teach yourself and those around you both self-aid, and aid to others ("buddy aid").
Above all, this book provides the tools you and your comrades require to promptly and effectively sustain life, and minimize suffering and disability.
This indispensable book is essential preparedness for every home, business and vehicle!

Please note: this publication replaces the older FM 4-25.11 / MCRP 3-02G, and provides readers with a more condensed First Aid manual that they can read more quickly and store anywhere, due to its lower page count and condensed nature. However, the older manual is still in use in some quarters and if you prefer a larger First Aid manual, please search for ISBN 197460599X, "The Official US Marine Corps First Aid Handbook" and decide which is appropriate for your needs. Thank you.
