The North American Rescue Squad Responder Kit is a CoTCCC-recommended casualty care platform designed as a superior alternative to the US Army CLS Kit. Packed in a MultiCam 1000D Cordura bag, it supplies enough gear to treat 2–4 casualties and covers hemorrhage control, airway management, chest sealing, hypothermia prevention, and eye protection in a single compact loadout.

Product Overview
The NAR Squad Responder Kit was developed to close the gap between individual IFAK capability and full medic-bag assets. Where the standard US Army Combat Lifesaver kit has served as the benchmark for squad-level trauma response, the Squad Responder Kit refines that concept with a modular layout, high-quality components, and a purpose-built MultiCam carrier. North American Rescue — a leader in prehospital trauma gear — engineered this kit specifically for the skill sets and decision-making demands of non-medic combat lifesavers operating under stress.
Hemorrhage control is addressed at multiple levels: two C-A-T® tourniquets for extremity bleeds, two packs of CoTCCC-recommended Combat Gauze® hemostatic dressing for junctional and wound-packing applications, and two 6-inch trauma dressings for pressure application. Penetrating thoracic trauma is covered by two HyFin® Vent Twin Packs — providing four vented chest seals total — paired with two ARS® 14-gauge needle decompression devices for tension pneumothorax intervention. The 28F nasopharyngeal airway enables basic airway management when jaw-thrust or repositioning is insufficient. Burn management, eye protection, splinting, and hypothermia prevention round out a kit that addresses the most survivable causes of preventable death on the battlefield.
The bag itself is built around a large central compartment with sand- and water-resistant ITW Nexus zipper hardware and silent pulls — critical for maintaining low acoustic signatures during tactical operations. The 1000D Cordura® solution-dyed nylon resists fading, abrasion, and UV degradation. Multiple attachment points support MOLLE-compatible accessories, and the compact 14 × 14 × 5 inch profile means the kit rides flat against a vehicle seat, pack, or crew compartment wall without consuming excess space.
