Low-titer type O whole blood is the CoTCCC-recommended resuscitative fluid for hemorrhagic shock. The donor side of a walking-blood-bank operation needs a structured set for screening the donor's type, drawing under field conditions, and labeling the unit for immediate transfusion.
What organizes the donor side of a field blood draw into one purpose-built set?
The Collection Set-V is purpose-built for the donor function, providing the components for a complete field blood draw from a pre-identified low-titer type O donor — a blood typing/screening element, phlebotomy supplies, a labeled collection bag, and documentation materials. NAR's design reduces the number of discrete steps and supplies required, which their validation work tied to higher first-attempt success and fewer errors under stress conditions. Designed to pair operationally with the Administration Set-V (83-0030) or to be purchased as part of the complete LTOWB Kit. This is a provider-scope item — see the scope note below.
Provider scope: field blood collection is governed by training, credentialing, a unit blood program, and medical-director authorization. This set is intended for TCCC-qualified medics, corpsmen, flight and critical-care paramedics, physicians, and agencies operating an authorized walking-blood-bank program. It is not a consumer or first-responder item. Deploy only within your scope of practice and your unit's transfusion protocol.

LTOWB Donor Eligibility Criteria
| Criterion | Requirement |
|---|---|
| Blood type | Group O |
| Low-titer status | Anti-A / anti-B titers ≤ 1:200 (pre-deployment lab testing) |
| Infectious disease screening | Current military blood program testing (HIV, HCV, HBV, syphilis, etc.) |
| Physical eligibility | Standard blood donation eligibility (weight, hemoglobin level) |
| Donor identification | Pre-deployment donor registry maintained by unit medical officer |
Program Lineage
The “V” designation traces to the Valkyrie walking-blood-bank program developed by USMC MARSOC, which systematically implemented LTOWB collection and transfusion at the unit level for far-forward combat operations. The Ranger O Low-Titer Blood (ROLO) program in the 75th Ranger Regiment pioneered a parallel approach for Army Special Operations. Both demonstrated that pre-screening service members for low-titer type O status and training providers to activate the blood bank at point of casualty improved resuscitation outcomes over crystalloid-only or delayed component therapy.
