IFAK
ACRONYMIndividual First Aid Kit
Individual First Aid Kit: the trauma kit every soldier carries in the same place on the gear.
On air
“Bravo Two-Six, this is Bravo Two-Two, IFAK used up, need more gauze at the CCP. Over.”
In conversation
Wear your IFAK where both hands can reach it.
Check your IFAK before every mission: tourniquet, gauze, dressing, shears.
Always use the casualty's IFAK first and keep yours for yourself.
Every Individual First Aid Kit in the platoon has the same layout.
