Individual Aid Kit The US Army<unk>  is an official medical training<unk>  conducted by the US Army. The<unk>  is intended to provide an intermediate step between the buddy aid-style basic life support taught to every soldier, and the advanced life support skills that are taught to US Army<unk>  Medics and to US Army Special Forces Medical Sergeants. These are MOS 68W and MOS 18D respectively. Providing at least one soldier in every squad with some ALS training and equipment (focusing on time-sensitive battlefield trauma such as arterial bleeding and blocked airways) creates a company-level organic reserve of trained auxiliary medical personnel, ensures the fastest response time to a wounded soldier on the battlefield and has been statistically proven to reduce the likelihood that a soldier will die while waiting for a battalion medic to arrive.
