The TacMed™ Foxtrot DA Litter is a compact, poleless casualty evacuation litter that deploys from a 19 × 8 inch package to an 82 × 25 inch platform using color-coded side-release buckles. Weighing just 1 lb 4 oz with a 400 lb capacity and six reinforced handles, it is designed for high-risk extractions in military, RTF, and disaster response environments where speed and minimal bulk are critical.

Product Overview
The TacMed™ Foxtrot DA Litter is a next-generation evolution of the proven Foxtrot litter platform, optimized for direct action (DA) and Rescue Task Force environments where litter weight, packed volume, and deployment speed are non-negotiable constraints. At just over a pound, it packs to a fraction of any rigid litter's footprint — small enough to clip to an IFAK, go-bag, or carrier vest — and deploys to a full 82 × 25 inch evacuation platform in seconds using color-coded side-release buckles that function correctly even with bulky rescue gloves.
The litter can be dragged or carried, a design feature that reflects the operational reality of CASEVAC under fire: there is rarely time for careful four-person carries during active threat engagements. The Foxtrot DA's single-person drag capability allows a medic or RTF member to move a casualty from the point of wounding to an area of relative safety without requiring additional personnel — a critical capability in the warm zone or during the transition from hot to warm zone in ASHER protocols. Six reinforced grab handles provide flexible carry positions for personnel of different heights and configurations, and allow the litter to negotiate tight stairwells, hallways, and aircraft doorways where standard NATO litters cannot maneuver.
The Foxtrot DA ships with a purpose-designed carrier available in Black or Coyote Tan with MOLLE-compatible attachment capability. The carrier protects the litter in storage and enables rapid extraction for deployment — a pull-and-go system that removes the need to dig through kit to find the litter when seconds matter. The casualty remains accessible for reassessment and continued care while secured on the litter, maintaining clinical standards during the evacuation phase.
Rescue Task Force Application
RTF operations require medics to enter warm zones without waiting for law enforcement to fully clear a scene. In this context, the litter they carry must be as light and compact as possible — it cannot impede the RTF member's ability to move, take cover, or use their hands for other tasks. The Foxtrot DA's sub-1.5 lb packed weight and IFAK-compatible attachment profile addresses this requirement directly, enabling every RTF member to carry individual evacuation capability without the weight and bulk of a traditional litter system.
