# Are you in pain? If so, is it hurting your combat effectiveness?

If you see any limb is not grey, and you see the bleeding indicator, quickly review all non-grey limbs. Any limb with a wound that is '''''not''''' an '''Abrasion''', '''Contusion''', or '''Bruise''' is likely causing bleeding. If such a limb ''only'' has those 3, it can be ignored for the time being. If possible, apply a tourniquet to the limb. If not possible (not enough tourniquets and/or it's the chest/head), apply a bandage to get bleeding to stop.

If possible, apply a tourniquet to the bleeding limb. If not possible (not enough tourniquets and/or it's the chest/head), apply a bandage to get bleeding to stop.

If you are no longer bleeding, and your blood loss indicator is still yellow, and you otherwise feel fine, keep fighting, and make note to have a medic review you later. This is crucial because, no matter the bandages applied, it will re-open eventually. A medic needs to stitch it up.

If you are:

If ~~your arms or legs are hurt, and you see~~ you ~~are~~ bleeding~~, even if you have chest~~ or ~~head~~ wounds~~, use~~ a ~~tourniquet on them. If you are bleeding and more than 2 limbs are hurt~~, ~~ask a battle buddy for more so that all affected limbs are tourniqueted. If bleeding continues despite this~~, call for a medic.

# No longer bleeding; and

# Your blood loss indicator is yellow; and

# You otherwise feel fine.

Keep fighting. If you cannot get bleeding to stop (either at all or the number of wounds indicates it will take a long time), or your blood loss indicator is orange or red, call for a medic.
