Hospitalman Michael Bryson, a Navy corpsman (left) with Echo Company, 2nd Battalion, 6th Marine Regiment, applies a tourniquet to a Marine with a simulated leg wound after all ammunition has been fired at Shooting Range 6, Feb. 11, 2013. “Whenever I hear, ‘corpsman up’ or ‘Marine hit’, I go straight to the area the call is coming from,” said Bryson. “Usually by the time I arrive on scene the Marine is already telling me what’s wrong and where he is hit. Before I begin assessing the injury, I will have a Marine post security for me. Once the security is posted, I immediately check for bright red blood spurting from the wound, if there isn’t any I don’t apply a tourniquet, but if there is then I will [apply a tourniquet] according to the wound.”
