Talon II Assault Litter Carrier

North American Rescue — Talon II Assault Litter

Carrier only — litter sold separately. The Talon II Assault Litter Carrier is a compact, MOLLE-compatible storage solution for the Talon II Assault Litter when collapsed. Shoulder straps included. Folds to H20” × W9” × D2” collapsed. Used by military and tactical teams to carry the litter on-person or on a vehicle without bulk penalty.

Getting a litter to a casualty is only half the problem. The other half is getting it there without it consuming the space and weight budget of a full pack. The Talon II Assault Litter Carrier compresses the collapsed litter to 20” × 9” × 2” — small enough to carry on a MOLLE panel, a vehicle exterior, or a pack exterior — while keeping it accessible for rapid deployment when the casualty event happens.

Why carry a litter carrier instead of the litter directly?

The Talon II litter collapses but still has volume and hard edges that make it awkward to carry loose. The carrier compresses, shapes, and restrains it — keeping it flat against a vehicle door, a pack surface, or a MOLLE panel without shifting or catching on obstacles. The shoulder straps make human carry practical — a single operator can carry the litter to the casualty without a second carrier or an awkward grip. If the litter is going to be deployed, the carrier is what makes it actually portable between vehicle and casualty.

When to Use the Talon II Assault Litter Carrier

• Vehicle-mounted litter carry for tactical operations: Tactical vehicles carry the Talon II litter for casualty evacuation. The carrier compresses the litter to a flat profile that mounts to the vehicle exterior, door, or rear rack — accessible without opening cargo space, stowable without occupying interior volume.
• On-person carry to a casualty in austere terrain: When the vehicle can’t reach the casualty site, one operator carries the folded litter using the shoulder straps. H20” × W9” × D2” at 2” depth is manageable over rough terrain. Without the carrier, the collapsed litter is carried by hand or balanced on pack — both options create a load-bearing problem the carrier solves.
• Search and rescue operations: SAR teams insert by foot, ATV, or helicopter. The Talon II carrier gives the litter a packable form factor for any insertion method. MOLLE exterior lets the team add a small IFAK or chem lights to the carrier for one-unit-carry efficiency.
• Maritime / boat-mounted litter staging: Patrol boats and dive rescue platforms carry the Talon II for water rescue casualties. The compact carrier dimensions fit in boat storage compartments or strap to exterior rails.
• Training and exercise use: Units that train with the Talon II litter use the carrier to standardize how the litter is transported between drill stations. Training with the actual carrier builds the muscle memory for deployment and repackaging that will matter in an actual casualty event.

How the Talon II Carrier Compares

Talon II Carrier vs. no carrier: Without the carrier, the collapsed litter is carried by hand grip or balanced on a pack — both options shift during movement, catch on obstacles, and can’t be hands-free. The carrier gives the litter a defined form and carry method: shoulder carry via straps, vehicle mount via attachment, or pack exterior attachment.

Talon II Carrier vs. improvised litter stowage: Improvised stowage (straps, rope lash, cargo net) requires rigging time and can’t match the profile and restraint of a purpose-built carrier. The Talon II carrier is sized and shaped for the Talon II litter specifically — no rigging, no improvisation, consistent profile every time.

Talon II Carrier vs. full litter system: The carrier is a transport accessory for the Talon II Assault Litter — it does not replace the litter. If you need the litter itself, see the Litters & Stretchers category. The carrier and litter are separate purchases.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Does the Talon II Assault Litter Carrier include the litter?

A: No. This listing is for the carrier only. The Talon II Assault Litter (the actual folding stretcher) is a separate product. See the Litters & Stretchers collection for the full litter listing.

Q: What are the collapsed dimensions of the carrier?

A: The carrier with a collapsed Talon II litter inside measures H 20 in. × W 9 in. × D 2 in. These dimensions are for the carrier with the litter inserted — confirm your storage or mounting space accommodates these dimensions before ordering.

Q: Can the Talon II Carrier mount to a vehicle?

A: Yes. The carrier is designed for vehicle exterior mounting as well as pack and MOLLE attachment. Specific mounting hardware depends on the vehicle platform. Contact MED-TAC International for mounting accessory options.

Q: What can I attach to the MOLLE webbing on the exterior?

A: The MOLLE exterior accepts standard PALS-compatible pouches — small IFAK pouches, chem light holders, or utility pouches. Attachment capacity depends on the amount of webbing and the pouch profile. Confirm the specific attachment dimensions before ordering accessories.
