 Rating:  - Good productThis product is same as described in purchase. Delivery was very quickly and good conditions. I recommend this product and provider. Sincerely. Jose Pena Rating: - Airborne Medic's ReviewI was a medic in the 82nd Airborne a few years after this book was published. I found it to be invaluable for review of proceedures that I had been taught in regular Army training. Like the Ranger Handbook, it is not meant to be the primary learning source, but rather a review of things a soldier had already be trained to do. Also like the Ranger Handbook, it accomplishes this purpose extremely well. It would've been of even more use, had I been an 18D - Special Forces Medic Rating:  - ObsoleteThis is a civilian reprint of the 1983 ST31-91B. The issue version with it's waterproof pages is a collectors item and not worth much else. Both versions are now very outdated in much of their treatment and management of illness/injury. Frankly when I first got the book in 1983, I didn't find it's sparse outline presentation of information very useful. You can find more current information, better presented in some of the newer books on Wilderness Medicine Rating: - You won't believe how thorough this is.I first came across this book while training with some Army special forces and was immediately impressed. Anyone who anticipates being in a situation where medical care would be difficult to procur, ie.. a long hunt or a sailing trip, would do well to pack this book among their gear.
