Chinook Medical Gear is a leading U.S. military medical supply manufacturer producing STOMP medical kits, trauma bags, operator IFAKs, and field medical modules trusted by U.S. Special Operations, combat medics, and tactical medical providers worldwide. MED-TAC International is an authorized Chinook distributor — sourcing directly to ensure authentic products with full manufacturer documentation and traceability.

Who Is Chinook Medical Gear?

Chinook Medical Gear (Chinook Med) is a Durango, Colorado-based company with over 30 years of experience designing and manufacturing medical equipment for military, law enforcement, and emergency medical services. Chinook is best known for the STOMP II (Special Operations Medical Pack) system — a modular medical bag used by U.S. Army Special Forces medics (18D) and Navy SEAL corpsmen as their primary field medical platform. The company builds to rigorous military quality standards, with products that have served in multiple operational theaters. Chinook is an authorized supplier to the U.S. Department of Defense and holds numerous government contracts for fielded medical systems. MED-TAC carries Chinook products as part of its commitment to stocking the brands actually used by military and tactical medical professionals.

What Are the Key Chinook Medical Gear Products?

Chinook's product catalog centers on: the STOMP II Medical Pack — the gold standard Special Operations medic bag, modular, MOLLE-compatible, and designed for 18D-level kit configuration; operator IFAKs in MOLLE and plate carrier compatible formats; specialized modules for airway, IV, surgical, burn care, and extended field care; casualty carries and litters; and fill kits and components for restocking standard military medical bags. Chinook products are designed to work with standard military pouch systems and are compatible with MOLLE, crye precision, Tactical Assault Panel (TAP), and other common mounting platforms used across U.S. and allied force structures.

Why Does Military Special Operations Use Chinook Medical Gear?

Chinook's adoption by U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) reflects several key design principles: modular organization that matches the cognitive workflow of a trained medic under stress; military-grade fabric and hardware that withstands the operational environment (water, dust, temperature extremes, rough handling); MOLLE compatibility across the entire product line enabling integration with existing load-bearing equipment; and fill standardization that aligns with Army and Navy medical supply systems. The STOMP II's inner organization mirrors the TCCC/MARCH algorithm — hemorrhage control, airway, breathing, circulation, hypothermia — enabling efficient patient workup without cognitive restructuring. These same attributes make Chinook products the right choice for law enforcement tactical medics, fire/rescue EMS providers, and wilderness medicine practitioners who demand military-grade field medical organization.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Chinook STOMP II and who uses it?+
The STOMP II (Special Operations Medical Pack) is Chinook's flagship medic pack — a full-sized trauma bag designed to carry the complete medical loadout of a Special Forces 18D or Navy SEAL corpsman in a deployed environment. It features multiple modular compartments, MOLLE attachment points, side access panels, and internal organization tailored to the TCCC algorithm. The STOMP II has been fielded by U.S. Special Operations Command and is used by military medics, law enforcement SWAT medics, and civilian EMS providers who need a high-organization, maximum-capacity field medical pack.
Is Chinook Medical Gear available to civilians?+
Yes. Chinook Medical Gear products are commercially available to military, law enforcement, EMS, and civilian buyers without restriction. There are no purchase limitations on bags, pouches, or fill kits. Some procedural supply kits may contain instruments requiring provider-level training for appropriate use, but the bags and organizational systems themselves are available to all. MED-TAC sells Chinook products to all qualified buyers as an authorized distributor.
How does Chinook compare to North American Rescue bags?+
Both brands serve military and tactical medical markets with high-quality products. Chinook Medical Gear is primarily bag and organizational system-focused — their STOMP II and related bag systems are among the most modular in the industry. North American Rescue is primarily known for individual trauma supplies (CAT tourniquet, Combat Gauze, Hyfin chest seals) and compact IFAKs. Many medics carry Chinook bags filled with North American Rescue consumable products — the two brands complement rather than compete with each other in most configurations.
Are Chinook bags MOLLE-compatible?+
Yes. All Chinook Medical Gear packs, pouches, and modules are built with standard MOLLE webbing for attachment to compatible platforms — plate carriers, tactical vests, body armor, vehicle mounts, and other MOLLE-compatible systems. Chinook's internal modular systems also accept MOLLE-mounted sub-pouches, allowing highly customized internal organization. The bag systems are designed to be reconfigured as mission requirements change.
Does MED-TAC sell authentic Chinook Medical Gear?+
Yes. MED-TAC International is an authorized Chinook Medical Gear distributor, sourcing products directly from the manufacturer or from Chinook's authorized master distribution network. All Chinook products sold through MED-TAC are authentic, include current manufacturer documentation, and are eligible for manufacturer support. MED-TAC does not source from gray market, third-party resellers, or unauthorized channels — a policy that applies to all brands in our catalog.
