If a team member is injured, what is the recommended course of action?

The recommended course of action when a team member is injured prioritizes the safety and well-being of all team members while balancing mission objectives. The focus should be on assessing the situation without compromising the overall safety of the team or the mission at hand. Therefore, it's critical to assess the injury thoroughly, which includes evaluating the extent of the injury and the capabilities of the injured team member.

Additionally, depending on the severity of the injury, it may be necessary to call for immediate backup to ensure sufficient support for both the injured team member and the remaining team members. This can provide additional resources to manage the situation effectively while maintaining mission integrity.

While the mission is important, neglecting the injured team member can lead to larger issues, including further injury or compromise of the mission due to inadequate team functioning. Hence, the strategy of overcoming the injury and continuing with the mission, without proper evaluation and support, is not advisable.
