There are two enemy groups separated by concealed terrain. At a certain moment, they receive news that two aircraft have crashed in their forward area. The task of each group will be to reach the crash site, provide first aid to the airmen (bandaging the head, broken arms, and legs), and transport them to the starting positions. Caution must be maintained, as the enemy may be present in the forward area. The group that finds the airmen first wins. The injured airmen may be specially designated boys. It is permissible to recapture the airman. The recapture can be carried out by a numerically stronger unit (the group may split into smaller units for faster discovery). The airman’s location can be determined using a directional angle.

A series of exercises in which youth must demonstrate knowledge of first aid (¹) can be conducted as a competition between patrols. For these games, an appropriate amount of dressing materials, disinfectants, etc., must be mobilized. After distributing the materials, patrols begin performing the designated actions at the instructor’s signal. Efforts should be made to ensure that

all patrol members have some task. In evaluation, the quality and precision of the work performed, followed by the speed of execution, should be taken into account.

From time to time, staging should be employed—that is, creating situations in which first aid becomes a natural life necessity or closely resembles one.
