STOP THE BLEED

STOP THE BLEED® is an official program of the U.S. Department of Defense. The program is designed to train and equip the public to be able to treat traumatic injuries involving severe bleeding until the first responders arrive. It is based on lessons learned by the DoD during the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan on how best to control severe bleeding. 

STOP THE BLEED® is another example of military lessons used to help foster national resilience and improved readiness for everyday emergencies.
