Which method is described as LBE worn like a dipper on an unconscious patient and strapped around you to assist with a single-person carry?

• A. Field expedient litter
• B. Arms Carry
• C. Pack Strap Carry
• D. Saddleback Carry

Answer: (A)

When you improvise moving a casualty with whatever gear you have, you’re using a field expedient litter. That method takes the load-bearing equipment and folds it into a cradle that can be worn or placed around the unconscious patient, then secured close to your body so one person can carry them. The description—LBE worn like a dipper on the patient and strapped around you to enable a single-person carry—fits this improvised litter technique precisely.

Arms carry is simply holding the casualty in your arms, which isn’t about using gear as a cradle. Pack strap carry relies on the pack’s straps to lift or carry, not on turning LBE into a cradle around the patient. Saddleback carry involves securing the patient to your back with differently arranged straps and gear. None of those match the idea of using LBE as a makeshift litter for a one-person carry, which is why the field expedient litter is the best answer.
