As for the initial portion of this scenario my course of action medically would be:

1. Explain to the soldier why I am taking him out of the fight.

2. C-collar, at this point I don't know where the bullet/fragment is. Try to minimize potential for further injury.

3. Secure airway with a NPA through wound, and verify air exchange.

4. Get IV access, saline lock.

Hold PN meds as to not obscure mental status. Monitor vitals, mental status and obtain a good NV exam. Reasses airway and reassure PT.

Hold tight for dustoff.
