Self Aid Buddy Care (SABC) was a training of the United States Air Force (USAF). SABC encompasses basic life support and limb-saving techniques to help wounded or injured personnel survive in medical emergencies until medical help is available. SABC training is completed every 24 months (at a minimum) and is administered to Active Duty, Guard, and Reserve USAF (AF) personnel. USAF changed its SABC administration and training requirements in September 2018: since, active duty has a requirement to complete the training once every three years or when undergoing Personnel Change of Station (PCS).

SABC training consists of an online computer-based training (CBT) course and hands-on skill verification through SABC instruction in accordance with AFI-36-2238, and AFI 36-2218VI respectively. As of 1 June 2022, Tactical Combat Casualty Care has fully replaced SABC across the United States Department of Defense.

Scope

The topics of SABC training encompass administrative overview, anatomy and physiology, communicable diseases/universal precautions, airway management, recognition and control of bleeding, shock management, dressings, bandaging, fractures, splinting, nerve agent/chemical environment, heat/cold related injuries, burn injuries, psychological injuries, victim assessment, triage, and patient transportation/litter movement. The course requires airforce personnel to complete the online Computer Based Training (CBT) Portion within 60 days before hands-on training can be completed.
