PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue · Worn Linear Drag Device

Dragon Harness — Linear Drag Device

A drag harness worn under the tactical vest so the capability is already on the operator when someone goes down. The handle deploys from the harness — no assembly, no gear to modify, no weapon to sling before the drag starts. Built on 2 in. flat seatbelt webbing that North American Rescue rates over 3,000 lb, with a 1 in. Tech Tape handle and box-stitched seams. Adjustable 30–45 in. waist, 1 lb 1.6 oz.

The drag capability that works is the one already on the body. Anything you have to find, unpack or rig is a decision you are making in the open.

Webbing ratings are the manufacturer's figures for the material and are not a rated working load for the assembled device or for any lifting application. North American Rescue limits this device to linear drags: it is not a hoist sling, not a lowering system, and not fall-arrest personal protective equipment. Inspect all stitching and webbing before and after every use.

▾Who Carries It

SOF and infantry — a drag capability worn by every operator rather than carried by one · Law enforcement and SWAT — downed-officer recovery where the officer is already wearing the means of their own extraction · Protective details — a low-profile, always-on option that adds no visible equipment.

This is an extraction device, not a patient-handling or immobilization device. It does not provide spinal motion restriction, and a linear drag is a threat-driven decision your medical direction and unit protocol govern — not a substitute for a litter when the tactical situation permits one. Train the application before you need it, and inspect the webbing and stitching before and after every use.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How is the Dragon Harness worn and deployed?

The Dragon Harness is designed to be worn under a tactical vest or plate carrier, with its adjustable waist buckle fitting sizes from 30 to 45 inches. When extraction is needed, the built-in handle system deploys immediately without requiring the rescuer to sling or holster their weapon. No pre-operation assembly or gear modification is required — simply don the harness during kit-up and it remains ready throughout the mission.

What is the weight capacity and construction of the Dragon Harness?

The Dragon Harness is constructed from 2-inch flat seatbelt webbing rated at over 3,000 lb for the main load-bearing body, with a 1-inch Tech Tape deployable handle system. Box-stitching throughout the construction ensures the seams hold under the dynamic forces of emergency casualty drags. The complete harness weighs 1 lb 1.6 oz, making it light enough for daily wear under kit.

Can the Dragon Harness be used for hoisting or vertical extraction?

No. The Dragon Harness is designed specifically for linear ground-level personnel recovery drags and is not rated or intended for hoisting, lowering, or helicopter extraction operations. For vertical MEDEVAC requirements, purpose-built hoisting harnesses approved for that application must be used. All stitching and webbing should be inspected before and after each use.

What advantage does the Dragon Harness provide over improvised extraction techniques?

Improvised extractions — grabbing a vest handle or dragging by a limb — require the rescuer to break weapon engagement and often result in casualty vest 'ride-up' that shifts body armor away from protected zones. The Dragon Harness eliminates ride-up by distributing drag force across the casualty's torso, keeps the casualty in a low-profile position to reduce re-wounding risk, and allows the rescuer to maintain a firing grip. The inline drag mechanics also reduce rescuer back injury risk compared to offset-load pulling.

How does the Dragon Harness support TCCC Care Under Fire procedures?

TCCC Care Under Fire prioritizes returning fire, taking cover, and moving casualties off the X before initiating treatment. The Dragon Harness was engineered specifically for this phase — it enables rapid one-operator extraction while the rescuer maintains combat effectiveness. Given that hemorrhage from major vascular injuries can be fatal within minutes of wounding, the time savings from a faster, more ergonomic extraction directly increase the casualty's probability of survival.

What is the approximate length of the Dragon Harness?

The Dragon Harness Linear Drag Device is approximately 22 feet of 1-inch Tech Tape configured as a multi-purpose body harness. The length enables standoff vehicle extraction, vertical hoist reach, and full-body wrap configurations.

Can the Dragon Harness be used as a climbing harness?

The Dragon Harness is a rescue and patient extraction device, not a climbing harness rated for lead-fall arrest. It should not be used as a fall-arrest personal protective device. Its appropriate use is patient extraction, towing, and assisted carry in rescue operations.

What is the tensile strength of the Tech Tape used?

Like the Dragon Handle System, the Dragon Harness uses 1-inch Tech Tape rated at 4,000 lb tensile strength — providing significant load-bearing margin for patient extraction operations.

Is the Dragon Harness NSN cataloged?

Contact MED-TAC International for current NSN and government procurement information for the Dragon Harness Linear Drag Device.

How quickly can the Dragon Harness be applied to a casualty?

An operator trained in Dragon Harness application can attach the harness to a supine casualty in approximately 15–30 seconds under field conditions. Pre-briefing squad members on attachment technique before operations significantly reduces field application time.
