“I don’t have tourniquets for you,” a Russian non-commissioned officer tells a group of newly-arrived conscripts at a military camp. She goes on to tell the conscripts that they must supply their own sleeping bag, medications, and first aid kit–she suggest the new soldiers get the IFAK (individual first aid kit) from their vehicles to use on the battlefield. If they can’t get tourniquets, the NCO tells them to have their wives and girlfriends send sanitary pads and tampons to control blood loss.
