Combat Lifesaver Training

Quoting from this site:

POLE AND JACKET LITTER
Closes (buttons, zips) garments close.________
Turns garments inside out, leaving the sleeves on the inside.________
Lays garments on ground so one is above the other and passes poles through sleeves.________
One bearer kneels behind the casualty’s head, slips arms under the casualty’s arms and across the casualty’s chest, and locks his hands together.________
Other bearer squats (kneels) between casualty’s legs facing first bearer and grasps under the casualty’s knees.________
Bearers lift casualty, move the casualty over the litter, and lower the casualty onto the litter in unison without dropping the casualty.________
Bearers position themselves between poles in front of and behind litter and lift litter in unison.________
Casualty does not fall from litter.________

That one’s important, now.  If the casualty falls out, you fail.  😉

(Please note, NOT mocking this–it’s just that last benchmark amused me.)
