A depleted IFAK reloaded one item at a time is a kit that's never quite full. And a single tourniquet is a single point of failure on a casualty with more than one bleed — or a TQ that fails to seat.
What reloads a full IFAK — with a backup tourniquet built in?
The SIRK™ Gen 2 is the answer in one sealed package. It carries two C-A-T® tourniquets (CoTCCC-recommended) — primary and secondary per military doctrine — alongside a Z-Fold Combat Gauze® hemostatic dressing (CoTCCC-recommended), NAR® Compressed Gauze, a 4″ Flat ETD, a 28F nasopharyngeal airway, and a full HyFin® Vent Chest Seal twin pack, addressing all three MARCH-protocol life threats: hemorrhage, airway, and tension pneumothorax. A Fox Eyeshield, two pairs of Bear Claw™ gloves, mini duct tape, a Model 7 rescue hook, a permanent marker, and a combat casualty card round it out. The clear vacuum seal lets you confirm contents without opening the kit — critical when time is short. Pull it whole into a BDU pocket as a standalone fill, or break it down to reset a used IFAK. An optional variant adds an ARS® 14-gauge needle decompression kit for trained providers.
Provider scope: This kit contains a nasopharyngeal airway, and the ARS® variant adds needle decompression equipment, intended for trained personnel operating within their scope of practice and local protocols. ARS needle decompression equipment is restricted to sale by or on the order of a licensed practitioner. This listing describes kit contents; it is not a substitute for accredited training.

When To Use It
- context: Resupply of current-generation NAR IFAKs — SIRK Gen 2 matches the updated CoTCCC component specifications in current NAR kits.
- context: Unit deployment resupply — pre-packaged Gen 2 kit ensures all resupplied IFAKs meet current CoTCCC guidelines rather than older component standards.
- context: Training facility high-volume resupply — SIRK Gen 2 provides efficient restocking of multiple IFAKs between training cycles.
- context: Procurement for new kit programs — SIRK Gen 2 as the standard resupply for any program using current NAR IFAK configurations.
How It Compares
SIRK Gen 2 vs. SIRK (original): SIRK Gen 2 reflects updated CoTCCC component specifications for current NAR IFAK kits; the original SIRK may use earlier-generation components. For current kits, Gen 2 is the correct resupply choice. See IFAK kits.
SIRK Gen 2 vs. full IFAK replacement: When the IFAK carrier is functional and only consumables are depleted, the SIRK Gen 2 restores the kit to standard without replacing the carrier. Replace the complete kit if the carrier is damaged, expired, or compromised. See IFAK kits.
SIRK Gen 2 vs. individual component resupply: Individual sourcing risks non-CoTCCC substitutions; the SIRK Gen 2 guarantees verified NAR components in the correct configuration for the current kit standard. See hemorrhage control.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the SIRK Gen 2 include CoTCCC-recommended items?
A: Yes. The SIRK Gen 2 reflects updated CoTCCC component specifications and includes CoTCCC-recommended items for the three leading preventable causes of traumatic death. Verify the current contents list in the product listing.
Q: What training is required to use a SIRK Gen 2-resupplied IFAK?
A: The same training required for the original IFAK applies. The SIRK Gen 2 resupplies the kit to standard without changing any component's skill requirements.
Q: What components are included in the SIRK Gen 2?
A: Verify the current contents list in the product listing. SIRK Gen 2 is designed to match the current NAR IFAK standard loadout with updated CoTCCC-recommended components.
Q: What is the NSN or procurement path for the SIRK Gen 2?
A: Available through MED-TAC International. DoD unit medical procurement can contact NAR for current NSN and GSA contract vehicle information.
Q: Can SIRK Gen 2 components be used in older IFAK configurations?
A: Components are interchangeable if sized and functionally identical; however, verify compatibility with your specific IFAK configuration before deployment. The SIRK Gen 2 is specifically designed for current-generation NAR IFAKs.
