 ===== General Recommendations =====
-   * **Move to cover or, if none is available, concealment.** Worst-case, lay down to make yourself small. Try not to treat yourself or another in the open as you are vulnerable to incoming fire. If a casualty is in the open, do your best to drag them in to cover or concealment. Only use carrying as a last resort, as the animation to pick up a casualty is slow and leaves you vulnerable to incoming fire. Only carry when you have one or two other individuals nearby who can provide security for you.

-   * **Communicate with your team leader and other individuals around you.** If you or your buddy are significantly wounded, make sure you can get help treating the casualty or providing security. If your team leader can quickly summon the squad's medic, it may help save a casualty that would have otherwise died.

-   * **Maintain security.** If you and your buddy are wounded, the lesser-wounded of the two should hold security to ensure the buddy team's protective posture is never compromised. Alternate treating yourselves to avoid a situation where you are both bandaging and get walked up on (and possibly killed) by enemy personnel.

-   * **If you are bandaging a casualty at the same time as someone else, call out what action you're performing on what region.** For example, "bandaging head," "tourniqueting right arm," and so on. This avoids wasted time and resources addressing the same wound(s).
