Which reference covers army first aid?

• A. FM 4-25.7
• B. FM 4-25.10
• C. FM 4-25.9
• D. FM 4-25.11

Answer: (D)

Army first aid is standardized in an official field manual that lays out the procedures soldiers use to save lives in the field. FM 4-25.11 is the reference that specifically covers Army first aid. It provides the step-by-step guidance for assessing a casualty, stopping bleeding, opening and securing the airway, supporting breathing, managing shock, and applying life-saving measures under fire and in austere environments. This manual is the primary source used in training and drills, ensuring everyone follows the same procedures regardless of unit or location. Other manuals in the same family touch on related medical topics or broader care concepts, but they don’t serve as the official, comprehensive first-aid guide for Army procedures.
