A battle buddy is a partner assigned to a soldier in the United States Army. Each battle buddy is expected to assist his or her partner both in and out of combat. Most participating soldiers have reported satisfaction and have agreed that the Army should implement the system fully, although there have been cons reported as well. A battle buddy is not only intended for company, but also for the reduction of suicide; since each watches his partner's actions, a battle buddy can save their fellow soldier's life by noticing negative thoughts and feelings and intervening to provide help.

There is also the expectation of working as a team with the assigned battle buddy. Additionally, there is continual, intense physical training as well as drill and ceremony training. At the conclusion of Phase II, soldiers are expected to demonstrate proficiency with the various weaponry in which they trained, using numerous "go or no-go" (pass/fail) exercises prior to being allowed to move on to Phase III.

The idea is to ensure that in the absence of a combat medic, the CLS will be able to replicate some (though not all) of the full-fledged medic's ALS techniques for their squad until the patient(s) can be evacuated to definitive care (i.e. an aid station or field hospital) or a medic arrives to take over. It functionally extends the soldier's medical duties from just his or her battle buddy to his or her entire squad, and gives him or her the extra training to do it successfully. In times when there is many casualties and few medics (and presuming the soldier can be spared), the CLS can also serve as a competent assistant at an aid station.
