PURPOSE AND DESCRIPTION OF MEDICAL WARNING TAG

The purpose of a Medical Warning Tag is to warn of significant medical conditions that NATO troops may be suffering from in a situation when NATO soldiers are unable to communicate and medical records are not immediately available.

Members of NATO Forces who are affected by a condition that national medical authorities consider significant, but which is not readily apparent, when the individual is unable to communicate, shall wear the Medical Warning Tag. Chapter 1.3 presents examples of such conditions. This list is not mandatory and may be modified at national discretion.
