PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue — Navy SAR Medical Bag

NAR-5 Search And Rescue Bag

The casualty-response bag built to U.S. Navy SAR Level A Medical Bag requirements for Search and Rescue Swimmers. Berry Amendment 500D Cordura® with GhillieTEX™ near-IR-reducing hardware, sand/water-resistant self-repairing zippers, and six hook-and-loop internal pouches. 24″ × 15″ × 7″, Coyote Tan. Bag only — configure with your own loadout.

Navy SAR Swimmers operate in some of the most demanding medical environments of any role — open ocean, ship-to-ship transfers, helicopter hoist, underwater approach. The bag that carries their kit has to survive sustained saltwater, stay organized through violent movement, and minimize its signature.

What meets the most demanding maritime medical-bag standard in service?

The NAR-5 is the standard casualty-response bag meeting the requirements set for U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Swimmers — arguably the most demanding maritime medical-bag standard in existence. Berry Amendment compliance guarantees U.S.-manufactured materials throughout, meeting DoD domestic-sourcing requirements. The 500D Cordura® solution-dyed nylon delivers water resistance, abrasion resistance, and color fastness under sustained saltwater exposure, and GhillieTEX™ hardware reduces the bag's near-infrared signature in sensitive environments. Six hook-and-loop internal pouches give a structured, mission-specific framework — four smaller pouches for hemorrhage-control products and two larger pouches for airway and IV supplies — each custom-labelable, then detachable to carry to the patient. Anti-pilferage seals keep components accounted for through staging and transit.

CLINICAL RATIONALE

🚑 Clinical Rationale: NAR-5 Search & Rescue Bag

The NAR-5 Search & Rescue Bag is purpose-built for advanced field care during mass-casualty or remote operations.
Its configuration reflects both tactical casualty care principles and civilian disaster medicine priorities—rapid triage, organized treatment flow, and sustained care capability during extended rescues.

1. Mission-Oriented Design

Unlike basic trauma packs, the NAR-5 is engineered for multi-casualty deployment.
The internal modular layout divides supplies into airway, circulation, and wound-management zones, mirroring MARCH algorithm sequencing (Massive hemorrhage, Airway, Respiration, Circulation, Hypothermia).
This structure enables rescuers to locate critical tools instinctively under stress, reducing time to intervention.

Layout follows MARCH trauma sequence for efficient workflow
Color-coded and labeled modules support team coordination
Expands operational capability beyond single-patient care

2. Comprehensive Hemorrhage Management

The bag accommodates multiple tourniquets, hemostatic dressings, and pressure bandages to treat several casualties simultaneously.
Each component addresses rapid control of external bleeding, the leading preventable cause of trauma death.
This design supports sustained field care in incidents where evacuation is delayed or patient load exceeds available medics.

Enables simultaneous management of multiple extremity bleeds
Integrates CoTCCC-recommended hemostatic technologies
Supports tiered response (combat medic, SAR technician, EMT)

3. Airway and Breathing Support Modules

The NAR-5’s upper compartments house airway adjuncts, bag-valve masks, and chest seals to ensure ventilatory management in both blunt and penetrating trauma.
The separated storage prevents cross-contamination and provides immediate visibility of essential airway equipment under low-light conditions.

Dedicated airway compartment reduces search time
Prevents equipment overlap with blee

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

What standard does the NAR-5 SAR Bag meet?

The NAR-5 meets the requirements for the SAR Level A Medical Bag as defined for U.S. Navy Search and Rescue Swimmers — one of the most rigorous maritime medical bag standards in military use. This qualification validates the bag's suitability for open-ocean rescue operations, helicopter hoist scenarios, and ship-to-ship transfer environments where equipment integrity is critical.

What is GhillieTEX hardware and why does it matter?

GhillieTEX™ is NAR's proprietary hardware system designed to reduce the bag's near-infrared (near-IR) signature — limiting detectability to thermal imaging and night-vision systems in tactical environments. For Navy SAR Swimmers and maritime special operations personnel operating in environments with thermal surveillance, near-IR signature reduction is an important equipment consideration. Standard metal hardware would reflect IR illumination and increase the operator's detectability profile.

Is the NAR-5 Berry Amendment compliant?

Yes. The NAR-5 is constructed from Berry Amendment-compliant materials, meaning the materials used in its construction are manufactured in the United States as required by the Berry Amendment (10 U.S.C. § 2533a). This makes the NAR-5 suitable for DoD procurement and official military unit purchase through approved channels.

How does the NAR-5's internal pouch system work?

The NAR-5 features 6 hook-and-loop internal pouches of varying sizes: 4 smaller pouches designed for hemorrhage control products (tourniquets, hemostatic gauze, pressure dressings) and 2 larger pouches for airway and IV access supplies. Each pouch attaches via hook-and-loop and can be individually labeled for the specific mission set, then detached and carried directly to the patient. This detachable system mirrors the approach used across NAR's professional tactical bag lineup.

Can the NAR-5 be sealed to protect medical supplies?

Yes. The NAR-5 is designed to accept anti-pilferage seals that secure all medical components inside the bag. This feature is important for official military and government use cases where chain-of-custody for medical equipment is required, and for ensuring that kits staged in shared environments have not been tampered with or had supplies removed between uses.
