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), tourniquet what you can, then apply sufficient bandages on limbs ''without a tourniquet'' to try and 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 can get bleeding to stop, look at the checklist above again and, if you meet all criteria, return to the fight.
