All personnel on combat missions should have a CoTCCC-recommended tourniquet readily available in a standard location on their battle gear and be trained in its use. Casualties should be able to easily and quickly reach and apply their own tourniquet. Tourniquets should NEVER be at the bottom of the pack. Always use the casualty’s tourniquet from their own JFAK first.

Always have more than one option available for tourniquet use in CUF. It is your responsibility as a CPP to ensure that you have multiple equipment sources and options for lifesaving interventions.
