Organize by MARCH order — massive hemorrhage, airway, respiration, circulation, head/hypothermia — so the most time-critical interventions sit where you reach first. Standardizing the layout across a service means any crew member can work any bag.

A BLS kit focuses on hemorrhage control, basic airway, and assessment within an EMT scope; an ALS kit adds advanced airway, IV/IO access, and medications used by paramedics. Build to your service's scope and protocols.

It depends on the role: a backpack for hands-free response over distance, a trauma bag for working at a fixed scene, and an IFAK or sling for first-in essentials. Many services run a primary bag plus a grab-and-go.

By issuing the same kit layout and the same key items — one tourniquet model, one bag configuration — so training transfers and mutual-aid crews can use any unit's gear without hunting for supplies.

MED-TAC works with EMS agencies, fire departments, and public-safety organizations on standardized loadouts and bulk supply. Use the trauma-response brief to scope a configuration, or reach the team for agency procurement.
