Product Overview
The TacMed™ WZ/SRO ARK is a complete redesign of the standard ARK™, developed specifically for warm zone operators — medical responders, SROs, and RTF members — who are entering an active incident area before the scene is fully secured. The upgraded side panels feature rip-away throwable pouches mounted horizontally, allowing team members to access supplies without requiring the operator to remove the pack. This sideboard delivery system enables the operator to distribute Casualty Throw Kits while moving through the scene without breaking stride.
The SRO Version's distinction is the 4 small Casualty Throw Kits featuring the Tramedic® Tourniquet — designed to work on pediatric and small-adult limbs where standard SOF® or C-A-T® tourniquets may not achieve adequate occlusion. This is a critical consideration in school environments where casualties may include children and adolescents with limb circumferences below the effective range of adult tourniquets.
