EAGLE IFAK Sanitäterkoffer

Is the EAGLE IFAK Medic Kit the same kit issued to U.S. military personnel?

Yes. The EAGLE IFAK Medic Kit from North American Rescue is the current military-issue Individual First Aid Kit fielded to U.S. warfighters. It is designed to the same specifications used by the U.S. Army and is also widely adopted by law enforcement tactical units and first responders. The kit's contents, including the C-A-T® tourniquet and HyFin® Vent chest seals, include CoTCCC-recommended items for treating the leading causes of preventable combat death.

What is the difference between the Basic, Basic w/Combat Gauze, and Advanced configurations?

The Basic configuration includes a C-A-T® tourniquet, 4 in. Flat ETD™, S-rolled gauze, HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack, and nitrile gloves — covering hemorrhage control and chest injury. The Basic w/Combat Gauze replaces plain gauze with CoTCCC-recommended Z-Fold Combat Gauze® and adds a 28F nasopharyngeal airway and ARS® needle decompression kit for airway management and needle chest decompression. The Advanced w/Combat Gauze configuration provides identical capability. Choose Basic for simpler deployments and the Advanced configuration when trained to manage airways and tension pneumothorax.

How does the EAGLE IFAK mount to body armor or a duty belt?

The EAGLE IFAK features both MOLLE/PALS connectors and a 2.25-inch belt loop, allowing it to be mounted in either orientation. The MOLLE attachment secures the kit to assault vests and body armor. The dual-position belt loop mounts the kit at high or low position on a duty or pistol belt. It is also compatible with North American Rescue Quick Detach Panels (sold separately) for rapid off-body access.

Can the EAGLE IFAK inner panel be removed for faster access?

Yes. The EAGLE IFAK features a detachable shock-cord inner panel that can be removed for immediate, unimpeded access to the kit contents. The panel uses a hook-and-loop closure to keep supplies organized under normal carry conditions, and the entire inner panel lifts out as a unit. The Quick Pull Tab opens the outer pouch with a single hand, allowing a responder to access supplies even with one hand occupied.

Does the EAGLE IFAK cover all phases of the MARCH protocol?

The Advanced w/Combat Gauze configuration addresses Massive Hemorrhage (C-A-T® tourniquet, Combat Gauze®), Airway (28F nasopharyngeal airway), and Respiration (HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack), plus Circulation support via the 4 in. ETD™. The Basic configuration covers hemorrhage and respiration. A thermal blanket for Hypothermia management can be added separately. For full MARCH-compliant kit-building, MED-TAC carries individual components including chest seals, hemostatic agents, and airway supplies.
