CIOMR is of the opinion that all military personnel should be skilled in first aid measures. To that end, amongst others, a First Aid Competition during the yearly CIOMR/CIOR Congress is organized, in which the CIOR Competitors participate. Military First Aid is First Aid against the tactical background: being shot yourself whilst delivering care is “counterproductive” (to put it mildly). Moreover, every soldier has to be aware of the dictates of the Law of Armed Conflict (LOAC): “shoot first, ask questions later” is simply not on; in particular not when civilians are present.
