Well laid out. Has the information a 68W or other service medics/corpsmen will need after he/she leaves school. I wish I'd had this for my medics while I was in Iraq. Good reviews of trauma care and also a great section on sickcall complaints and basic treatments. Casey did a great job of putting this all together.

I cannot recommend this enough as the 1st book any junior Corpsman/medic purchase. The material is well written and easy to understand. I have spent 7+ years with Marine infantry battalions and have to say this is the best reference out there for the new guy. A good book.

I have always looked for a all inclusive reference and now i have found it in this book it is extremely up to date and very relavant and you can tell it was written for medics by medics

Great reference tool. Very informative. The waterproof pages are a plus- now the book will survive out in the field as well as in my quarters.

I bought this book prior to Iraq thinking that it would be useful for medic training. I found it was useful for line medic training, but did not have anything significant to contribute, in terms of Tactical Combat Casualty Care, required for treatment medics in a Level 1 or Level 2 facility. If you are a Battalion Surgeon looking for material to bring to Iraq, go ahead and skip this.

Purchased for my husband... He said it is full of valuable information, a must have for any combat medic's library.

I just got the book this past week, but so far I'm impressed with it. It's small enough to place in a ALICE type back pack( and in your BDU trouser pockets). The water-proof pages is of course a plus to have in the field.

Hoo-ah!

Wonderful well worth every thing. Great Reference material. Pages are glazed over water resistant.. great to wipe off the blood/ fake blood.

I got this for a friend that was interested in learning a little feild first aid, Im a medic and I thought mine was pretty good so... she liked it and thought it was cool.

Im a green side Corpsman (combat medic for the Marines) and its a mediocre manual. The SOAP note sick call portion is definitely on weak side. You can tell its geared for Army medics because, it does not meet the standards of Navy medicine.
