(4) Move the LBE up until the pistol belt is behind the casualty's thighs
(figure 2-12 C).
(5) Lie on your back between the casualty's legs and work your arms
through the LBE suspenders (figure 2-12 D).
(6) Grasp the casualty's wrist on his injured side and roll toward his
uninjured side (figure 2-12 E). Continue until you are in a prone position with the
casualty on your back.
(7) Push yourself to a kneeling position; then to a position in which you are
kneeling on one knee. Maintain your hold on the casualty's wrist to help balance the
casualty while you are rising.
(8) Grasp the casualty's other wrist and bring that arm over your other
shoulder (figure 2-12 F).
(9) Place one hand on your raised knee for support; then rise to your feet.
Lean forward to balance the casualty's weight as you rise.
(a) If the casualty is conscious, have him lock his hands together or
use one hand to grasp his other wrist while you are rising.
(b) If the casualty is unconscious, release one wrist while you are
rising; then secure the wrist again.
(10) Walk forward, staying somewhat bent forward to keep the casualty's
weight balanced on your back.
(a) If the casualty is unconscious and you do not have to carry
anything in your hands, grasp his wrists (palms down) to help keep the casualty
balanced while you are walking.
(b) If the casualty is conscious, have him grasp his wrist with one hand.
(c) If the casualty is unconscious and you need to have your hands
free, tie his wrists together using a muslin bandage, a field dressing, or similar material
which will not cut his wrists (figures 2 12 G and H).
