When responding to a casualty who is unresponsive and/or unable move in Care Under Fire, a two-handed tourniquet application technique is used.

As previously mentioned, exercise extreme caution in treating and moving a casualty in Care Under Fire to not put additional personnel at risk.

Upon approaching the casualty, quickly perform a visual blood sweep, looking for major bleeding. If expected or 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 a casualty, use the tourniquet in the casualty’s JFAK first.
