3-18. THREE-BLANKET DRESSING
The three-blanket litter dressing provides four thickness of blanket underneath
the casualty and four thickness on top of the casualty.
a. Place the first blanket on the litter lengthwise so one edge of the blanket is
even with the litter pole that is away from you and the upper edge of the blanket is
even with the top (head) edge of the litter bed.
b. Bring the blanket over the bed of the litter to the near pole; then fold the
blanket at the near pole and take the remainder back over the litter. Let the excess
blanket overhang the far pole (figure 3-15 A). Two thickness of blanket now cover the
litter bed and one thickness is beyond the far pole.
c. Place the second blanket on the litter lengthwise so one edge of the blanket
is even with the litter pole that is near you and the upper edge of the blanket is even
with the top (head) edge of the litter bed.
