COMBAT MEDICS
8-45. A combat medic is the first individual in the medical chain who makes medically substantiated

combat medic is designated the senior company combat medic and supervises the platoon combat medics.
All combat medics provide emergency medical treatment (EMT) for sick, injured, or wounded company
personnel. EMT (immediate, far-forward care) consists of lifesaving steps that do not require the
knowledge and skills of a physician. EMT procedures performed by combat medics may include opening
airways, starting intravenous fluids, controlling hemorrhages, preventing or treating shock, splinting
suspected or confirmed fractures, and relieving pain. Emergency procedures performed by combat medics
are supervised by a surgeon or physician’s assistant assigned to the BSTB or the BSMC. The combat
medics—
� Supervise triage for injured, wounded, and sick personnel (friendly and enemy).
� Provide EMT for and stabilize injured, wounded, and sick personnel.
� Evacuate seriously wounded personnel under the direction of the 1SG.
� Implement force health protection measures to counter health threats and prevent disease and
nonbattle injury (see FM 4-02.17).
