Rescue Task Force Chest Pouch

What vest is the RTF Chest Pouch designed for?

The Rescue Task Force Chest Pouch is specifically designed to attach to the North American Rescue MKIII RTF Tactical Responder Ballistic Vest using its MOLLE/PALS attachment system. It can also be mounted to other vests or plate carriers with compatible MOLLE webbing.

How many casualties can the RTF Chest Pouch treat?

With two C-A-T® tourniquets, four HyFin® Vent Chest Seals (two twin packs), two ETDs, two airways, and two rolls of wound packing gauze, the RTF Chest Pouch is stocked to treat at least two simultaneous traumatic casualties with full hemorrhage, chest seal, and airway management supplies.

Is the RTF Chest Pouch CoTCCC-recommended?

The RTF Chest Pouch contains multiple CoTCCC-recommended components, including C-A-T® tourniquets and HyFin® Vent Chest Seals. CoTCCC recommends individual devices rather than complete kit assemblies, but all primary trauma intervention items in this kit meet CoTCCC standards.

What is the Near Infrared Signature Reduction feature?

Near Infrared (NIR) Signature Reduction means the CORDURA® nylon fabric and hardware are treated to minimize reflectance under night-vision imaging devices. This prevents the pouch from appearing as a bright visible target under NVG surveillance, supporting low-observable tactical operations.

What colors is the RTF Chest Pouch available in?

The Rescue Task Force Chest Pouch is available in Black (SKU 80-0407), Coyote Tan (SKU 80-1109), and Red (SKU 80-0406). The Red version supports high-visibility identification for designated medical responders in civilian law enforcement and emergency scenarios.

Does the RTF Chest Pouch come with medical supplies or is it a pouch only?

The Rescue Task Force Chest Pouch is a carrier system. Medical supplies are carried separately or as part of the Rapid Response Kit RTF Version. Check the specific product listing to confirm whether a kit-stocked version is available or whether supplies need to be purchased separately.

Is the RTF Chest Pouch compatible with the NAR Responder Ballistic PPE Vest?

Yes. The RTF Chest Pouch is designed to integrate with the NAR Responder Ballistic PPE Vest IIIA as a system. Verify MOLLE/PALS row compatibility and panel dimensions match your specific vest size before mounting.

What medical items fit in the RTF Chest Pouch?

The RTF Chest Pouch is sized to accommodate the RRK RTF contents: tourniquet, hemostatic dressing, chest seal, pressure dressing, and gloves at minimum. Refer to the product listing for exact interior dimensions and compartment configuration.

What is the NSN for the Rescue Task Force Chest Pouch?

Contact MED-TAC International for current NSN availability, government pricing, and procurement vehicle options. The RTF Chest Pouch may be procured for Fire/EMS agencies through cooperative purchasing contracts.

Can the RTF Chest Pouch be used on non-NAR ballistic vests?

The RTF Chest Pouch uses MOLLE/PALS webbing for attachment and is compatible with any vest panel that accepts standard MOLLE mounting. Verify that your vest's front panel MOLLE row count and spacing accommodate the pouch's attachment width.
