What is the Foxtrot DA Litter? A compact, poleless casualty-evacuation litter that deploys from a 19 × 8 inch package to an 82 × 25 inch platform using color-coded side-release buckles. At 1 lb 4 oz with a 400 lb capacity and six reinforced handles, it is built for high-risk extractions in military, RTF, and disaster-response environments where speed and minimal bulk are critical.

What It Is
The Foxtrot DA Litter is a next-generation evolution of the proven Foxtrot litter platform, optimized for direct-action (DA) and Rescue Task Force environments where litter weight, packed volume, and deployment speed are non-negotiable constraints. At just over a pound, it packs to a fraction of any rigid litter’s footprint — small enough to clip to an IFAK, go-bag, or carrier vest — and deploys to a full 82 × 25 inch evacuation platform in seconds using color-coded side-release buckles that function even with bulky rescue gloves.
The litter can be dragged or carried, reflecting the operational reality of CASEVAC under threat: there is rarely time for careful four-person carries during active engagements. Single-person drag capability lets a medic or RTF member move a casualty from the point of wounding to relative safety without requiring additional personnel — a critical capability in the warm zone or during the hot-to-warm-zone transition in ASHER protocols. Six reinforced grab handles provide flexible carry positions for personnel of different heights and let the litter negotiate tight stairwells, hallways, and aircraft doorways where standard NATO litters cannot maneuver.
The Foxtrot DA ships with a purpose-designed carrier in Black or Coyote Tan with MOLLE-compatible attachment. The carrier protects the litter in storage and enables rapid extraction for deployment — a pull-and-go system that removes the need to dig through kit when seconds matter. The casualty remains accessible for reassessment and continued care while secured on the litter.
Rescue Task Force Application
RTF operations require medics to enter warm zones without waiting for law enforcement to fully clear a scene. The litter they carry must be as light and compact as possible — it cannot impede the member’s ability to move, take cover, or use their hands. The Foxtrot DA’s low packed weight and IFAK-compatible attachment profile addresses this directly, enabling every RTF member to carry individual evacuation capability without the bulk of a traditional litter system.
