What TCCC capabilities does the Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit cover?
The Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit covers all major MARCH priorities: Massive hemorrhage (2 C-A-T® tourniquets, 4 ETD™ dressings, 4 S-Rolled Gauze, Abdominal ETD), Airway (Cyclone® BVM, Tactical Suction Device, 2 NPAs), Respiration (HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack), Circulation/wound care (dressings, gauze, tape), and Hypothermia (via additional kit). SAM® Splints address fracture stabilization. Two NAR T2 Triage Tags support multi-casualty documentation.
What is the Tactical Suction Device included in the kit?
The Tactical Suction Device is a manually operated suction device for clearing blood, vomit, or secretions from an airway — critical when a casualty has an obstructed airway from facial trauma, blood pooling, or vomiting. Manual suction devices don't require power, are compact, and can be used in the same immediate environment as other kit supplies. Combined with the NPAs and BVM, the Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit has a more complete airway management capability than most kits of comparable size.
How does the Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit differ from an individual IFAK?
An individual IFAK (IFAK) is designed for self-aid or single-casualty buddy aid by the individual carrying it. The Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit is a squad-level resource with double the tourniquet count, four trauma dressings vs. typically one, a complete airway kit (BVM, suction, NPAs), triage tags, and splinting capability. It is intended for use by a designated team medic, TCCC-trained operator, or first responder who may need to treat multiple casualties.
Is the C-A-T tourniquet in this kit CoTCCC-recommended?
Yes. The Combat Application Tourniquet® (C-A-T®) Black from North American Rescue is CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage control. The Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit includes two C-A-T® tourniquets, providing two independent tourniquet applications for bilateral limb injuries or two separate casualties.
What colors and SKUs are available for the Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit?
The Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit is available in Black (SKU MEDTAC0352), Olive Drab (SKU MEDTAC0353), and Coyote Tan (SKU MEDTAC0354). All three color variants are loaded with identical kit contents and weigh 6.4992 lb (gross shipped weight including packaging).
Are contents CoTCCC-aligned?
Yes — the kit is configured with CoTCCC-recommended items. Exact contents vary by variant; visit narescue.com for complete manifest and confirm against current CoTCCC Recommended Items list.
What training is needed?
TCCC or TECC course completion at a minimum. This is a provider-level kit for trained tactical medical personnel, not a layperson first-aid kit.
Is this kit designed for RTF operations?
Yes. The rapid-deployment architecture and CCP-level supply depth make this kit appropriate for Rescue Task Force warm-zone operations.
What procurement channels are available?
Available through MED-TAC International directly and via DLA for government procurement. Contact MED-TAC for current NSN and CAGE code.
How does this listing differ from the other Tactical Rapid Deployment Kit listing?
