Product Overview
The NAR Medic Assault Kit – Basic represents a purpose-built solution for tactical medics who need to breach and clear with their kit — not leave it outside the stack. The Medic Assault Rescue Bag's middle-hinge design allows the bag to contour to the body when worn, reducing its profile during close-quarters operations. Two main compartments accessible from either end mean the medic can access supplies from either side without repositioning, and the silent zipper pulls eliminate metallic sounds during movement.
The Basic kit configuration includes the full scope of TCCC Hemorrhage Control, Airway, Respiration, and Circulation (MARCH) priorities: two C-A-T® Tourniquets (CoTCCC-recommended for extremity hemorrhage), four Wound Packing Gauze rolls for wound packing, HyFin® Vent Chest Seals (Twin Pack ×2) for bilateral open chest wounds, NPA airways (28FR ×2) for airway management, a Tactical Suction Device for airway clearance, and SAM Splints for fracture immobilization.
The inclusion of the 12 in. × 12 in. Abdominal/Stump ETD addresses the high-lethality junctional and truncal hemorrhage scenarios common to blast injuries. The Ex-Tract Strap and Aviation Panel Kit support casualty extraction and MEDEVAC signaling — critical capabilities for team-level tactical medicine beyond individual IFAK scope. At 2.2 lb, this is one of the lightest pre-filled multi-casualty capable tactical kits available.
