Tactical medicine is the provision of pre-hospital care aimed primarily at eliminating preventable causes of death, based on principles that take into account the threat from combat operations or an active shooter. The Ukrainian army is currently transitioning to NATO standards, including in tactical medicine. At the same time, it would be strange to expect that the approach to tactical medicine is free of Soviet vestiges that do more harm than good. A helmet and body armour protect the shooter in most cases. Help with bleeding from the limbs is provided by a tourniquet, which should be placed in a first aid kit, which is located on the load-bearing vest in a place designated by the unit commander. Assistance to the wounded is provided with the help of his personal medical equipment. A serviceman should have the skills to apply a tourniquet, but should never give away his tourniquet, his main task is to execute a military order. Other emergency medical care is provided by tactical medics.
