Does the TacMed ARK bag come with any medical supplies?
No. This listing is the bag only — sold empty. The interior loadout shown in product images is for demonstration purposes only. For the fully kitted version including Casualty Throw Kits, tourniquets, chest seals, and optional litter, see the TacMed™ ARK™ Active Shooter Response Kit listing.
What size is the ARK bag?
The TacMed™ ARK™ bag measures 23 in. L × 15 in. W × 7.5 in. D. This is the same form factor as the fully kitted ARK™ Active Shooter Response Kit.
Why would an organization buy the bag only?
Organizations often purchase the bag only when they need to replace an aged or damaged bag while retaining their existing CoTCCC-recommended medical contents, or when they need to self-stock with agency-approved specific supplies that differ from the standard ARK loadout.
What colors is the ARK bag available in?
The ARK bag is available in Black (ARK-BO-B), Olive Drab (ARK-BO-G), Multicam (ARK-BO-MC), Coyote Tan (ARK-BO-T), and Red (ARK-BO-R).
Can the ARK bag hold the standard ARK Casualty Throw Kits?
Yes. The ARK bag interior is specifically designed to organize and deploy ARK™ Casualty Throw Kits, which slot into the center compartment for quick-access distribution. The side and front pockets accommodate additional tourniquets, dressings, chest seals, and litter equipment.
How does the ARK bag reduce the required rescue force size?
The ARK system's Casualty Throw Kits are designed to be distributed to uninjured bystanders on scene, enabling them to control life-threatening hemorrhage and position casualties for airway maintenance using bilingual instruction cards. This transforms untrained civilians into immediate first responders, reducing the number of trained RTF or EMS personnel needed to initiate treatment across a multi-casualty scene and significantly shortening time-to-first-treatment for casualties who cannot wait for trained provider access.
What are the dimensions of the ARK Active Shooter Response Bag?
The ARK bag measures 23 inches long by 15 inches wide by 7.5 inches deep. It is available in Black and other configurations and can be worn as a backpack or carried by hand. The multiple storage compartments separate Casualty Throw Kits from advanced medical supplies, allowing medics to access both categories without reorganizing the bag.
Is the ARK bag available without the kit contents for custom stocking?
Yes. The TacMed ARK Active Shooter Response Bag is available for standalone purchase without the kit contents. This option is used by agencies and organizations that have specific equipment requirements and want to stock the bag to their own protocols, or that need the bag platform to replace or supplement an existing ARK kit.
