The Chem/Bio Casualty Survival Cards™ are quick-reference/review cards intended for use by individuals at the front-line where the use of bulky textbooks is impractical. They are based on STP* 21-24-SMCT** (*Soldier Training Publication **Soldier’s Manual of Common Tasks), STP 21-1-SMCT and the handbooks of Medical Management of Biological Casualties and Medical Management of Chemical Casualties texts used by the DoD in training for biochemical threat agents. The 3.5”x 5.5” cards are laminated and have slots punched into the ends. Consistent color-coding is used for faster access.
