Two water bottles, Red Cross armbands, a Red Cross helmet, two medical satchels, which contain bandages, morphine, tourniquets, sulfonamide powder, and medical equipment (such as syringes and scalpels) Hard-cover notepad (for recording casualties), paper clips, other medications. An M1911 pistol and some bullets for self-defense. Sometimes I will bring some individual soldier rations with me when performing remote missions.
