IFAKs are used to treat trauma. Use your canteen and the water in it to treat a heat emergency.

The item you will most definitely use is the airman's water supply. If the guy is in heat exhaustion or heat cramps you have him drink the water and pour some on him. If he's in heat stroke you need to put him on IV fluid replacement and pour water on him but, if he's capable of drinking, you can have him drink too.

To treat a heat emergency you treat for shock and get the troop's body temperature down. There's nothing in an IFAK (which is made to treat bleeding and no-breathing problems, not heat emergencies) that will do either, but if you were to pour the contents of your 2-quart canteen over the troop, you'd reduce his body temperature.
