          1. The U.S. Field Medical Card (FMC), DD Form 1380 (figure 1-1)
          is the intended source of information to initiate the personnel
          casualty report. Commanders must stress its Importance to unit
          corpsmen. Refer to chapter 9 of FMFM 4-50,.Health Services
          Support, for additional information.

          2. The FMC is completed by the unit corpsman or the medical
          facility providing initial treatment  (BAS/RAS/ BES). The original
          FMC remains with the casualty until it is incorporated into the
          clinical record. The carbon copy is retained by corpsman or
          medical facility and promptly delivered to the unit commander or
          his designated representative. If the FMC is contaminated, the
          information is transcribed on to a clean form.

          the individuals reporting uni't, i.e., squadron, battalion, H&S
          company, or headquarters company. They are assigned an           r
          immediate precedence and are unclassified. If a portion of the
          PCR requires classification, sena it in a separate message. AC
          a minimum, lines 1-6 must be completed in the initial PCR.
          Figure 1-2 contains the instructions, from the MARCORCASPROCRAN,
          for completing the PCR. Figure 1-3 contains authorized
          abbreviations to be used in the PCR. Figure 1-4 is aL PCR
