Combat First Aid 26OCT25

Combat First Aid is an introduction to what goes into an Individual First Aid Kit (IFAK), and how a layperson can use each of the tools to address battlefield, training, and self-defense injuries. 

My Name is Brian Wang. I served on the front lines of Ukraine as a Shooter-Medic as part of a medical evacuation team in the early days of the 47th Mechanized Brigade, and conducted several medical evacuations of wounded soldiers. Some lived, some didn’t. In this class I will present to you the lessons that I learned in blood so that you and your loved ones can benefit.

Starting October 26th 2025, this is now a free class open to the public. 

This class is part of the Combat Rifle School. We schedule small group instruction based upon the your request. This program consists of the following 50 unique five hour modules, plus additional practical and field exercises.
