You are usually okay to stay in the fight.

If you ''are'' bleeding and you see any limb is not grey, 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 bandages on limbs ''without a tourniquet'' to get bleeding to stop. Use '''Field Dressing''' or '''Basic Bandages''' for large wounds (Medium+) and use '''QuickClot''' for everything else. ACE will apply bandages 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'''.

=== Fractures ===

Sometimes, a limb will '''fracture'''. This is indicated by a red diagram of your bone appearing in the relevant limb. Despite how scary is looks, it isn't fatal, nor does it within of itself incur bleeding. Arm fractures mess with your ability to aim and shoot. Leg fractures reduces your speed to a snail's pace.

Leg fractures are less important than arm fractures, since you need your arms to shoot, ''unless'' your squad is planning to move out soon. Use a '''Splint''' on the relevant limb to address this. '''If you have a fracture of any kind and have no splints, this is valid reason to call a medic'''.
