Is the USMC Combat Lifesaver Kit CoTCCC-compliant?

The USMC Combat Lifesaver Kit is designed to support the USMC Combat Lifesaver program and TCCC protocols. CoTCCC-recommended items (C-A-T tourniquet, HyFin chest seal, hemostatic gauze) are standard kit inclusions. Verify current contents with narescue.com or MED-TAC International.

Who is designated as a USMC Combat Lifesaver?

The USMC CLS is a non-medical Marine trained in advanced combat casualty care skills beyond self-aid. Designation is at the unit commander's discretion — typically one or more CLSs per squad or section. CLS training is typically 40 hours and covers MARCH, IV access, and airway management basics.

Does this kit replace the individual IFAK?

No. Every Marine should carry an individual IFAK for self-aid. The CLS kit is an additional capability carried by the designated Combat Lifesaver for treating others — it supplements, not replaces, individual IFAK distribution.

What is the NSN or procurement path for the USMC Combat Lifesaver Kit?

Contact MED-TAC International for current NSN, CAGE code, and DLA/GSA procurement information for government orders of the USMC Combat Lifesaver Kit.

Can the USMC CLS Kit be resupplied with the USMC CLS Resupply Kit?

Yes. After depletion in training or combat, the USMC CLS Resupply Kit provides the doctrine-correct contents to return the CLS bag to operational status. Maintain resupply kits in the unit's logistics cache at a 1:1 ratio with CLS bags.
