Military uses include:

* Autoinjectors are often used in the military to protect personnel from [[chemical warfare]] agents. In the [[United States Military|U.S. military]], [[atropine]] and 2-PAM-Cl ([[pralidoxime chloride]]) are used for [[first aid]] ("buddy aid" or "self aid") against [[nerve agents]]. An issue item, the [[Mark I NAAK]] (Nerve Agent Antidote Kit), provides these drugs in the form of two separate autoinjectors. A newer model, the [[ATNAA]] (Antidote Treatment Nerve Agent Auto-Injector), has both drugs in one syringe, allowing for the simplification of administration procedures. In the [[Gulf War]], accidental and unnecessary use of [[atropine]] autoinjectors supplied to [[Israel]]i civilians proved to be a major medical problem.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=4XcatTO8dVUC&q=gulf+war+israeli+autoinjector&pg=PA1069|title=Pediatric Emergency Medicine|last1=Baren|first1=Jill M.|last2=Rothrock|first2=Steven G.|last3=Brennan|first3=John|last4=Brown|first4=Lance|date=2007-10-24|publisher=Elsevier Health Sciences|isbn=978-1437710304|pages=1069|language=en}}</ref>
