What should an individual recruit do if they are injured?

Reporting an injury through the chain of command is the appropriate course of action for a recruit. This ensures that the injury is formally acknowledged and documented by the training organization, allowing for the proper procedures to be followed in terms of medical assessment and care.

Additionally, communicating the injury to a superior or instructor is crucial for coordination of necessary medical attention and to ensure that safety protocols are adhered to. The chain of command can also provide support and determine whether it's safe for the recruit to continue training or if further action need to be taken, such as medical evaluation or adjustment of training responsibilities. This systematic approach helps maintain the safety and well-being of all recruits in the training program.
