As a combat lifesaver, you should inspect your JFAK equipment:

Inspecting your Joint First Aid Kit (JFAK) equipment is essential for ensuring that you are prepared for any medical situation that may arise during training events or combat missions. By conducting inspections before, during, and after these events, you can identify and address any issues that may impair your ability to provide care.

Before training events and missions, this proactive approach allows you to confirm that all necessary supplies are available and in working order, ensuring optimal readiness. During events, regular checks can help you quickly assess the status of your equipment, ensuring everything remains functional and accessible. Finally, inspecting the JFAK after training or missions allows for replenishment of supplies and repair of any damaged items, which maintains the kit's readiness for future use.

This comprehensive strategy of inspection underscores the importance of being perpetually prepared in varying conditions and circumstances, which is critical for a combat lifesaver’s role. Thus, regularly inspecting the JFAK across all various stages—before, during, and after practice or real-life scenarios—ensures readiness and responsiveness.
