Medic Rules

These rules are used to maintain squad integrity and tactics. This game is based on everyone working together as a squad.
Squads will remain together for the course of the event the best they can. Not everyone will last the entire time. If need be, attach yourself to another squad until your squad is able to join the game again.
Your squad leader is ultimately in charge and will determine when it is best suited for the squad to withdraw to their CP and re-arm. When “withdrawing” from the battle, all members of the squad must pull out their kill rags/glowsticks until they are back at their CP.
Each person needs to bring 1 Tourniquet (TQ’s). (it does not have to be one of ours)
Medics can not bandage themselves – Another live medic can.
If both medics in the squad are hit, it is mandatory to have your squad return to the CP unless they can be healed by another medic.
No one goes back to CP by themselves, the entire squad must go back to CP together.
Live and die as a squad.
Exceptions for people needing to bio/gun breakdowns etc
No Bleed out. Wounded player(s) must remain in place when hit. A wounded player may not move on their own free will. Another player can PHYSICALLY drag/carry the wounded player(s). – Ask them if they want to be dragged or carried if need be.
A medic must have a watch and must hold you for 1 minute in order to simulate “healing” someone.
Your TQ can be used on someone else. You may not re-use TQ’s until ‘re-supply’.
TQ’s can be ‘re-supplied’ at your CP anytime you wish – To re-supply your TQ’s, your entire squad must ‘withdraw’ and go back to the CP.
Medics can only bandage 1 person at a time.
If you are hit by a mortar you do not pass go and do not collect $200. Return to CP as a squad.
Medic positions can be exchanged at the CP.
You may not “raid” a dead medics kit.
You may not steal TQ’s from the enemy.
Abuse of the medic rule/game mechanics will get your squad sent back to the CP.
YOU LIVE AND DIE AS A SQUAD – LEAVE NO MAN BEHIND!
When Hit:
1. You will call hit, take out your red kill rag and drop to a knee.
2. Stay where you are and wait to be healed by a medic – No bleed out.
3. You will remain where you are until you are healed or your squad pulls out to resupply.
4. Another team member can drag/carry a wounded person out of harms way with no help from the “wounded player.”
  If you find yourself blocking a doorway, stairway etc, please move a couple feet out of the way – Don’t be a bullet sponge/meat shield.
A medic can heal anyone they wish (minus RECCE) . Keep in mind if a medic from another squad heals a member of your squad, try and get a TQ from them to replace it.
Ricochet’s do not count as a hit – it must be a direct hit.
GUN HITS DO NOT COUNT

In the event of an issue between players, please have the squad leaders work it out. If they cannot, call game control.
Please gather appropriate intel if there is an issue ie. names/callsign/dogtag# and descriptions will help.
