MED-TAC International's squad bags are multi-person medical bags designed to sustain a 4–8 person team through multiple casualty events. Built for military squad medics, law enforcement tactical medics, and first responder teams, these bags carry redundant hemorrhage control, airway, and circulation supplies at a scale that individual IFAKs cannot provide. Every bag is sourced from the original manufacturer or an authorized distributor. Clinician-founded. Veteran-led.
An IFAK (Individual First Aid Kit) is a personal kit carried by a single operator, sized to manage one casualty's life-threatening injuries during the immediate care phase. A squad bag is a team-level resource carried by the designated medic or combat lifesaver that provides supplies for multiple casualties, including items too large or complex for individual carry: IV/IO access equipment, advanced airway devices, prolonged field care medications, SAM Pelvic Slings, and additional tourniquets and hemostatic agents beyond the individual issue quantity. The squad bag concept aligns with the Joint Trauma System's Tactical Field Care and Prolonged Field Care guidelines, which require medic-level resources for multi-casualty management beyond the scope of individual operator IFAKs.
| MARCH Category | Squad Bag Contents | Quantity (4-man squad) |
|---|---|---|
| Massive Hemorrhage | CoTCCC-recommended tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, pressure dressings, junctional TQ | 4+ tourniquets, 6+ hemostatic, 4+ pressure dressings |
| Airway | NPA (multiple sizes), surgical airway kit, OPA, supraglottic device | 4–6 NPAs, 1 surgical airway kit |
| Respiration | Vented chest seals, needle decompression catheters (14g), chest tube supplies | 4 chest seals, 4 NDC needles |
| Circulation / IV-IO | IV kit (18g, 16g catheters), IO device, normal saline or Hextend, blood tubing | 2 IV kits, 1 IO device, 2 L fluid |
| Hypothermia | Blizzard Survival Blanket, Ready-Heat thermal pads, hypothermia prevention kit | 4 blankets, 2 thermal kits |
These systems represent different echelons of medical capability. A squad bag is a compact multi-casualty resource for a small team — sized for 4–8 casualties with TCCC-level supplies. A medic bag (or corpsman bag) is a larger system carried by a dedicated 68W/18D/Special Operations medic, containing a broader scope of clinical supplies including IV medications, surgical instruments, and advanced wound care. A TACMED backpack typically refers to a daypack or assault pack-sized system optimized for rapid movement while carrying medical supplies. MED-TAC carries all three configurations — see the TACMED Backpack Kits and Medic Pouches & Packs collections for larger-scale medical bag options.
