Exercise extreme caution in treating and moving a casualty in Care Under Fire to avoid placing additional personnel at risk.

Upon approaching the casualty, quickly perform a visual blood sweep, looking for major bleeding. A two-handed tourniquet application is used when responding to a casualty that is unresponsive and/or unable to move in Care Under Fire. If present, apply a hasty tourniquet high and tight on the injured extremity and get the casualty and yourself to cover as quickly as possible.

When helping the casualty, be sure to use the tourniquet from the casualty’s JFAK first.
