Product Overview

The NAR USMC Combat Lifesaver Kit is the official, US Marine Corps-designated Combat Lifesaver bag — not a civilian interpretation, but the actual field kit procurement chosen through Marine Corps evaluation and acquisition. It represents NAR's benchmark CLS platform, built on the same 1000D Cordura® nylon bag construction as the Squad Responder Kit with ITW Nexus hardware and sand/water-resistant zippers, loaded with the complete contents required for the USMC CLS qualification training and operational deployment.

The contents provide comprehensive coverage of all four TCCC life threats in the appropriate quantities for 2–4 casualty treatment: three C-A-T® tourniquets and three packs of QuikClot Combat Gauze® XL for hemorrhage; one Guedel airway and one NPA with lubricant for airway management; four ARS® needle decompression devices for bilateral tension pneumothorax management; and two USMC HyFin® Chest Seal Combo Packs providing both vented and non-vented seal options for penetrating thoracic wounds. Burn management is addressed through BurnTec and burn dressings; the Model 8 Rescue Hook enables vehicle entrapment extraction; and five casualty response cards support documentation through a mass casualty event.

The CTB-V3 Combat Trauma Bag with strap and insert is the purpose-built carrier that the kit ships in — available in Coyote Tan only, matching USMC operational color standards. The bag opens to 37.5 inches when fully deployed, providing clear access to all compartments during active treatment.
