PRODUCT INFORMATION

SKEDCO · Active-Shooter Medical Chest Bag

Skedco PRINGLE – WORKHORSE, Active Shooter Medical Chest Bag

A chest-worn trauma platform for active-shooter and mass-casualty response that converts to a butt pack when the tactical picture changes. Four exterior pockets, a MOLLE-compatible elastic centre panel for airway and chest supplies, and three double-ended lower pockets that open from either end so dressings come out whether the bag is on the chest, swung to the side or lying flat beside a casualty. SKU SK-1120-CB; NSN 6545-01-527-9873.

Reaching for a dressing should not mean breaking your position — the bag rides where your hands already are, and it comes off the chest only when you decide it should.

Every property above is reproduced as SKEDCO publishes it. The 4 lb figure is the empty bag; a loaded bag weighs whatever your protocol puts in it. The NSN indicates the item is catalogued for U.S. government supply, not that any particular loadout is endorsed. The centre-panel layout is described by SKEDCO as an intended arrangement for airway and chest supplies — those supplies do not ship with the bag.

▾Who Carries It

Law-enforcement patrol and entry teams responding to active-shooter incidents, where supplies have to be reachable without dropping a bag or breaking a firing position · Tactical medics and TEMS elements working a warm zone with hands forward · Rescue task force members who need a chest platform on the approach and a butt pack once the casualty collection point is established · Agency training cadres standardising a single bag across a unit.

The design decision that matters here is the double-ended lower pockets. A conventional pocket has one correct orientation, which is fine on a bench and useless when the bag has swung to your hip or is lying on the ground next to a casualty. Opening from either end removes the step where the responder reorients the bag before reaching into it.

Buy it as a platform, not a solution. It ships empty, so the value depends entirely on the loadout your medical director signs off on — and on drilling that loadout in the panel positions it was laid out for, so the reach is trained rather than searched.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is the Skedco PRINGLE WORKHORSE worn?

The PRINGLE WORKHORSE is primarily worn as a chest bag using two crisscross shoulder straps, with an additional waist strap to keep it stable during movement. It can also be converted to a butt pack using 1-inch Fastex buckles at the back of the bag that attach to assault vests or similar equipment. The dual carry modes allow the user to switch configurations based on operational requirements without changing equipment.

Does the Skedco PRINGLE WORKHORSE have a National Stock Number?

Yes. The PRINGLE WORKHORSE carries NSN 6545-01-527-9873, confirming it has been evaluated and accepted into the U.S. military medical supply system. The SKU is SK-1120-CB. This NSN supports procurement through standard federal acquisition channels for military and law enforcement agencies.

What are the double-ended lower pockets for?

The three double-ended lower pockets are designed to carry dressings — Israeli bandages (large and small), gauze, Kerlix, and similar flat items. Each pocket opens from both ends, allowing the medic to access contents regardless of which side of the bag is facing up or toward the user. This is a critical design feature for mass casualty scenarios where the bag may be on the ground, slung sideways, or partially covered, and the medic needs to retrieve dressings without repositioning the bag.

What supplies are held in the center MOLLE-compatible elastic panel?

The center panel is configured with elastic sewn into a MOLLE-compatible pattern and Fastex buckle holding bands for airway and thoracic supplies — including J-tube supraglottic airways, nasopharyngeal airway packs, petrolatum gauze packs, and tape. MOLLE-compatible pouches can also be attached to expand the center panel's capacity. This positions airway management supplies in the most accessible location, consistent with TCCC/TECC priority sequencing.

Is this bag sold with medical supplies included?

The Skedco PRINGLE WORKHORSE is sold as the bag only — without pre-loaded medical supplies. Purchasers need to stock it with their own mission-specific supplies based on their training level and operational requirements. The bag's organized compartment system supports a comprehensive TCCC or TECC loadout for an individual medic or law enforcement officer responding to active shooter and mass casualty events.
