First responder
The training for Einsatzersthelfer , English Mission First Aid Provider (MFAP), is the basic first aid and medical training for all branches of the armed forces and branches of service of the Bundeswehr . It is based on the guidelines for Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC). The first responder training is divided into levels A and B. All training levels are time-bound and expire after specified periods of time. They must be obtained through annual refresher courses. The Combat First Responder (CFR) differs from the first responder .
First responder A
The first responder A training is compulsory for all Bundeswehr soldiers during the basic training and has been replacing the medical service helper ( Hlf SanDst ) course in the Bundeswehr, which is mandatory for all soldiers until 2009 and which does not expire .
Only for the achievement badge, the training to become a helper in the medical service was not allowed to be older than three, and previously not older than five years. According to the training and maintenance of individual basic skills and physical performance , further training must now be carried out every year. Graduates of the First Aid A course are qualified to carry out immediate first aid measures and to use personal medical equipment (including morphine autoinjectors) properly. It has a scope of 30 lessons; 8 lessons per year are compulsory to maintain. The training content only includes measures within the framework of the so-called standard competence.
First aid workers A carry out first aid within the framework of self and comrade help and, if necessary, support the medical service or the medical service in carrying out medical assistance. The training also includes mission-specific measures such as the handling and administration of morphine auto-injectors in the care of the wounded.
The First Aid A training level is a prerequisite for the “ Lone Fighter Basic Survival and Strike Through” and “Lone Fighter 2 Hunting Combat” training. Through the further development of the helper in the medical service to first aid worker A, the training was didactically prepared and expanded with a special focus on heavily bleeding wounds, unconsciousness and respiratory failure. In the civil sector, first aid training A is recognized as an (extended) first aid course.
First aiders, like the helpers in the medical service at the time, are issued with a corresponding ID by the military doctor responsible for carrying out the training after successful participation . During the implementation of self-help and comrade help in combat, helpers in the medical service wear an armband with a reduced protective symbol (3 cm × 3 cm) and are protected as auxiliary sickness carriers according to the Geneva Conventions during the performance of these tasks , provided that the other side recognizes and ratifies this Has.
First responder B
The extended medical training of first responders B (colloquially informal also "Bravos" (pluralized form of Bravo ), spelling table of the ITU / ICAO / NATO ) with additional 50 or 55 teaching units serves the qualified care of wounded in combat ( care under fire ).
In each group, one soldier (mostly the military driver) carried the extended (group) medical equipment and had extensive medical training. This qualification level first aid worker B has been revised. They are trained in the implementation of immediate life-saving measures, relief of the chest cavity through needle puncture, creation of a peripheral intravenous access as well as intraosseous access .
The training as first aid worker B qualifies according to the DA to § 10 BGV A5 Abs. 1 Nr. 1 for use as a company paramedic (basic course in company paramedic). The aim of the training to become emergency helper B is to familiarize them with medical and rescue equipment and to train them to carry out a body check . 16 teaching units are required annually to maintain it.
