Caveat Emptor – Ranger Medic Handbook

It seems some people have zero shame. It has come to our attention that there are a couple of fake hardcopy Ranger Medic Handbooks on Amazon and in digital format for the Kindle. North American Rescue has an agreement with the copyright holder making them the sole distributor of the RMH and all profits from the book go to a charity of the their choice. The charity is always a Wounded Warrior type charity and is currently the Sentinels of Freedom. This is VERY important. One of the versions on Amazon is listed as the 2011 version which is completely bogus. According to the authors, this is a draft of the 2007 version before the edits were finished. On a good note, the copyright holder is currently in contact with Amazon to deal with the three companies publishing the RMH.

Printed on tear-resistant and waterproof 6 mil paper, the RMH was designed for hard field use. Sections of the 156 page handbook include tactical combat casualty care (TCCC), trauma protocols and procedures, common sick-call related subjects, pharmacology, duties and responsibilities, packing lists, and more.

We’re not going to publish links to the fakes so please don’t put the info in the comments section.

    The RMH is very good book and it angers me that there’s people out there that will try to make a profit by stealing it. I’m glad you’re putting it out there for our knowledge and ill warn all my medics under me about it

    I can understand not putting the links to the fakes but what you need to do is to let people know how to tell the fakes from the real deal. Without that info unsuspecting people will still end up buying the fakes or avoid buying even the real ones for fear of accidentally buying a fake.

      It’s pretty easy. I even put it in the article. If it has a date other than 2007, it is a fake. If it wasn’t purchased through NAR, it is a fake.

    I see, I didn’t see the part where it says that NAR is the sole distributor; kind of the key to telling the difference between a fake and the real deal isn’t it. You get it from NAR it’s guaranteed to be the real deal, get it from anywhere else you’re taking your chances on (most likely) getting a fake.
