If they are unconscious check the ABC's, Airway Breathing and Circulation. If those are acceptable then move the airman to a cool, shaded place. Loosen/remove all excess clothing (if need be, down to underwear). a cool wet towel or shirt can be put under the armpits or in the groin to help cool. In the military you would also give the airman a large bore IV (18 gauge works nicely) of normal saline. It is very important at this stage not to give anything for them to eat or drink, even if they wake up.

Confused and anxiety are indications that the Airman is in shock. Other early signs and symptoms that the Airman may exhibit are a weak pulse and pale, cool, or clammy skin.
