The basic training provided by the Endurance Coalition goes over the '''[https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=463939057 ACE]''' medical concepts strictly necessary for the average riflemen to play with the unit comfortably. This page will review certain concepts in more depth for deeper understanding.

[[File:Bandage effectiveness reopen.PNG|thumb|548x548px|A list of available bandages compared against wound types for their efficiency in closing and re-open chance.]]

Bandages in ACE have 3 important mechanics at play. The first is their efficiency at bandaging a particular wound (e.g how many of X bandage type is needed for a Y wound type of Z size), the chance the bandage has to re-open at all, and if it ''does'' re-open, the delay between the re-opening being triggered and blood loss resuming.

* '''Field Dressing''' is the average joe of the bandage types. Not awesome, but not horrible.

* '''Packaging Bandages''' are more likely to re-open, ''but'' the delay before blood loss resumes ''is'' higher than a '''Field Dressing'''.

* '''Elastic Bandages''' will close any wound of any size on first application, ''but'' it's chance to re-open is ''super high'' and the delay before blood loss resumes is ''super low''.

* '''QuikClots''' take almost double or more to be consumed to cover a Y wound of Z size than the other 3 types, but it's chance to re-open is ''super low'' and the delay before blood loss resumes is ''super high''.

Elastics are favored by medics because the 2 major downsides {{Emdash}} the high re-open chance and low blood loss delay {{Emdash}} are ''entirely negated'' by the fact medics will stitch the wounds they close, which makes them unable to ''ever'' re-open. So, the fact they work quickly and will always fully resolve any Y wound type of Z size works tremendously to their benefit.

QuikClots are favored for smaller wounds since they are more likely to fully resolve it. This is also why basic training advises using Field Dressings and Packaging Bandages on wounds of Medium+ size before falling back on them for Smalls, since ACE applies bandages in order of largest wound to smallest wound. This helps reduce wastage of bandages which may save your life or someone else's life.
