I am a US Navy Corpsman, I acquired this book when I took the course provided by my chain of command. This was a great course. It works on improving and honing the skills of Civilian EMTs and Military Medical personnel. It has great material that teaches you to think critically about the mechanism of injury for your patient and what they need before you get them to a higher level of care. It is made to lessen the time it takes to get your patient from the field to the Hospital or aid station. In the military we won't always have the availability of higher care within 30 min drive and every second counts. I highly recommend this course for those dedicated to saving lives.

A must have book if you're interested in Tactical Field Medicine. As Combat Medic (68W) I find it very helpful.

Having recently completed the Advanced PHTLS program through a local level 1 trauma hospital I was disappointed to find that this book is almost identical to the book that I had to puchase for that class. While they did add a military looking cover and military pictures at the front of each chapter the content was almost completedly repackaged from the "non-Military" version.

If you have the civilian version this is not worth the additional investment.

This is a Must Have for all Medics regardless of what military or civilian service they belong to! I'm in a Combat Support Hospital and have recommended it to ALL of the medics (68w) in my battalion!

This book was nothing more than a review of basic EMT procedures. I expected a little bit more advanced trauma techniques and it read like my basic EMT text. If you need a review I guess this would help some.
