 | This page is currently under construction! Expected information may be missing, sections may be empty, prose may cut off abruptly, etc. |
The following page is designed around two major sections. The first will be medical information that every basic riflemen will know when playing on an Endurance Coalition controlled server. The second will be medical information designed for use by medics. There are not a lot of modern guides on ACE medical. The ones that are quasi-modern are scattered amongst various sources. This tries to consolidate them into something useful.
The addon used to simulate medical conditions in a more realistic manner than vanilla Arma is strictly from ACE3. At this time, Endurance does not use the even more advanced KAT variant.
For the soldier
When in a firefight, it's inevitable that you will be shot. Or buddies around you will be shot. Generally, as a non-medic, your only real priority medically is yourself. That said, you may sometimes be ordered to assist medically by leadership, a medic, or you may find yourself having too due to a mass causality situation.
The "focus on yoursemfL' may seem to be in contravention of a team ethos, but this is because your number one way to help medically is to eliminate the enemy causing harm. It is the first priority of the medic to know the medical system and tend to soldiers as fights go on.[1] It is the first priority of everyone else to not put themselves in unnecessary danger and eliminate threats.

Footnotes
- ↑ This is presuming it is appropriate for the medic to do so because, as will be explained in the medic section, in many cases the appropriate medical thing to do is assist in eliminating the enemy.
