    It was actually pretty good. I remember having to pass an ingame training course to use the medic class. I still vaguely remember how to apply a tourniquet lol

      Do blood sweep on individual. On the affect limb place tourniquet high and tight into the groin/armpit as possible. Velcro firmly. Twist stick until you think the stick will break (ignore screams of person you’re applying it to). Write the time on the tourniquet so the medics know what to do about it later.

        I think when it first released in 2002 they would have taught two inches above the wound. High and tight for all purposes came later as the default trained procedure.

        I remember from my own time in recruit training they taught us to kneel on the affected artery while we were applying the tourniquet, which isn’t exactly comfortable for the person receiving. It turned into a game of basically hurting each other as much as possible while practicing applying the tourniquet, lmao.

        This was the Marines though, not the Army.
