⚡️ON IFAKS We have touched on this topic before but it is too important not to discuss it again. You as the individal are the fundamental building block of the medical supply chain in the field. You have a medic with you who will take care of you FROM YOUR IFAK first. And especially in an austere environment (which is not the same as a remote or combat environment!) resources will be limited and the medic will not have enough supplies with him to take care of everyone. The bigger the team, the larger the discrepancy between resources and requirements. ❗️Make sure you carry the gear in the field that you want your medic to have! ❓️Does your IFAK contain enough to provide you with a permanent airway in case the medic runs dry? Can you get a field blood transusion from the IFAK? Will you have to suffer pain for hours because you underpacked? While noone is expecting you to carry god knows what, your IFAK should cover all of the MARCH-PAWS algorithm. Not just bleeding control, some meager excuse of an airway and a chest seal. It is your responsibility to come to the field prepared! #EURMED #IFAK #TCCC ... #tacticalfieldcare #tactical #medicine #equipment #loadout #gear #supplies #logistics #guerillamedicine #sof #medic #prolongedfieldcare #combat #austeremedicine
