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.
