  yes-

  

  The 3rd Generation combat medic is able to provide faster and more effective treatment with new equipment like the combat tourniquet and emergency field bandage.

  Now armed with new and improved equipment, the combat medic will be able to stop the bleeding within seconds by applying the combat tourniquet. In cases such as neck wounds, where a tourniquet cannot be applied, the medic can now use the new haemostatic dressing, a blood-clotting product which rapidly stops profuse bleeding in a matter of minutes.
