You are usually okay to stay in the fight.

If you ''are'' bleeding and you see any limb is not grey, go ahead and apply a tourniquet to all non-grey limbs. If not possible (i.e you don't have enough tourniquets or the bleeding is from a chest or head wound), apply sufficient bandages on limbs ''without a tourniquet'' to get bleeding to stop. Use '''Field Dressing''' or '''Basic Bandages''' for larger wounds (Medium+), whereas you should use '''QuickClot''' for smaller ones. ACE will automatically have bandages apply to wounds in order from largest to smallest. In other words, if you have a mix of wounds from Large to Small, use the first 2 bandages types, then, when only small ones are left, switch to '''QuickClot'''.

If you see a ''lot'' of wounds in your chest or head (this is mostly a vibe check), your blood loss indicator is any color that isn't yellow or grey, or something else is otherwise making you combat ineffective, go ahead and call a medic. Generally, if you are using due diligence, it is better for a medic to state you do not need attention rather than for you to keel over because you misjudged your wounds.
