A must have for operational forces!
A must have for operational forces! It cover a broad range of items that will give you valuble information. Unless you are a doctor, you need this book while on the ground! The only problem, it's not that easy to find the information you need quickly.

Airborne Medic's Review
I was a medic in the 82nd Airborne a few years after this book was published. I found it to be invaluable for review of proceedures that I had been taught in regular Army training. Like the Ranger Handbook, it is not meant to be the primary learning source, but rather a review of things a soldier had already be trained to do. Also like the Ranger Handbook, it accomplishes this purpose extremely well. It would've been of even more use, had I been an 18D - Special Forces Medic

Obsolete
This is a civilian reprint of the 1983 ST31-91B. The issue version with it's waterproof pages is a collectors item and not worth much else. Both versions are now very outdated in much of their treatment and management of illness/injury. Frankly when I first got the book in 1983, I didn't find it's sparse outline presentation of information very useful. You can find more current information, better presented in some of the newer books on Wilderness Medicine

You won't believe how thorough this is.
I first came across this book while training with some Army special forces and was immediately impressed. Anyone who anticipates being in a situation where medical care would be difficult to procur, ie.. a long hunt or a sailing trip, would do well to pack this book among their gear.
