    AbstractThe medical issues faced by military medics in the combat environment frequently represent a significant variation from their training and civilian experience. The differences between care delivered by military medics under fire and care rendered by civilian medics are profound.

These differences revolve around a lack of basic monitoring capability, significant logistical constraints, and prolonged evacuation times. The resuscitation algorithm presented in this article represents a consensus of military and civilian trauma experts.
