The U.S. Navy’s CNO SAR Model Manager sets TCCC-aligned requirements for Search and Rescue aid kits on aviation platforms and ships. The base NAR-5 SAR Aid Kit covers fundamental first aid but did not originally carry every item the full TCCC standard requires. This Supplemental TCCC Upgrade Kit is the purpose-built fix — five specific item categories that, added to a NAR-5, bring it into complete CNO SAR Model Manager compliance.
Your squadron’s NAR-5 kits pass inspection on paper — but do they actually carry the hemostatic, decompression, and airway items the TCCC standard now requires?
The upgrade ships in a clear zip-lock bag (6 × 4 in.) that drops straight into the NAR-5 compartment — one upgrade kit per NAR-5 kit. Contents address the gaps that matter most: four CoTCCC-recommended Combat Gauze Z-Fold dressings for hemorrhage, four ARS needle decompression units, four pre-lubricated 28F airways, four polycarbonate eye shields, and a SAM Pelvic Sling for the high-mortality pelvic fracture that’s frequently underdiagnosed in trauma.
Provider scope: This upgrade includes ARS needle decompression and nasopharyngeal airway adjuncts intended for use by trained providers within their scope of practice and protocols. Needle decompression is an advanced intervention; this listing describes capability and compliance, not technique, and is not a substitute for accredited training.
Why This Upgrade
Brings a NAR-5 SAR Aid Kit to full CNO SAR Model Manager TCCC compliance — the exact items the base kit lacked.
A clear zip-lock bag that places directly into the NAR-5 compartment — no repacking, one kit per NAR-5.
Decompression capability matters in aviation environments, where pressure changes can worsen chest injury.
Four Combat Gauze Z-Fold dressings — CoTCCC-recommended — for the leading cause of preventable death.
