You will, however, have three times the number of guys to carry stuff, so I bet it works out, proportionality-wise. You're only one guy, and while the CLSs and buddy aid guys will be able to treat the more basic injuries because of you cross-training them, you only have the ability to administer advanced treatment to one, maybe two guys at a time, regardless of the amount of supplies and equipment you carry. If you have 4 or 5 guys with near simultaneous critical injuries that require the specialized equipment and treatment that only you can give, its very likely someone is going to die, so make sure your triage is very good.
