The belly-mounted IFAK earned its place in SOF kit for a reason: the abdomen is centrally located, protected by armor, and within fast reach of either hand. The NAR RAID V2 — Releasable-Abdominally-Integrated-Drop — refines that form factor with a clean mechanical release and exterior tourniquet access, so the most time-sensitive intervention happens without opening the kit at all.
When you need to clear your med kit to treat low or transition to a litter, can you drop it in one pull — or are you fighting buckles?
The First Spear Tube interlocking system is the defining feature: a single 550-cord toggle releases the kit from the vest, and the interlocking halves click back together to reattach — no rethreading. An exterior elastic band holds the C-A-T for immediate access without opening the pouch, because tourniquet application is the first and most time-critical step. Vest hook-and-loop mounting and included belt hardware keep it operational whether the operator is in a plate carrier, dismounted, or working in a vehicle.
Why This Kit
The First Spear Tube quick-release drops the kit clear of the vest with a single 550-cord pull, and reattaches by sliding the interlocking halves until they click.
An external elastic band stages the C-A-T for immediate access without opening the kit — the first intervention is the fastest one.
The evidence-based standard C-A-T tourniquet, with evidence-based standard Combat Gauze available as a hemostatic option, plus the HyFin Vent Compact Chest Seal — the vented seal the TCCC Guidelines call for.
From standard gauze to Combat Gauze or Celox hemostatic, in Basic or Advanced supply levels — standardize the platform, specify the hemostatic.

When to Deploy the RAID V2 Fanny Pack Kit
- Plainclothes or off-duty carry: The fanny-pack form factor provides discreet trauma capability for armed professionals and off-duty officers who cannot visibly carry a medical kit.
- EDC for law enforcement patrol: Worn on the duty belt or separately, the RAID V2 positions trauma supplies for immediate self-treatment or buddy-aid without returning to a vehicle kit.
- Active-shooter first responder staging: Fire/EMS and security teams operating in warm zones use the RAID V2 as a rapidly deployable personal kit during mass casualty events.
- Training and range use: Range safety officers and instructors keep a personal kit on-person throughout range days — accessible without running to a staged kit.
- Civilian preparedness: Trained civilians and armed citizens carry the RAID V2 as an everyday-carry trauma kit matched to the threat profile they personally train for.
How the RAID V2 Fanny Pack Kit Compares
RAID V2 vs. EDC Ankle Trauma Kit: The ankle kit is fully concealed under pants and optimized for deep concealment; the RAID V2 is waist-carried with faster access and greater kit capacity. Choose ankle for maximum concealment; RAID V2 for faster deployment and more supplies.
RAID V2 vs. belt-mounted IFAK pouches: Belt or vest IFAKs are visible and quicker to access in uniform settings; the RAID V2 fanny pack integrates trauma capability into a civilian-appropriate form factor. On duty in uniform, use a standard IFAK; off-duty or plainclothes, the RAID V2 is more appropriate.
RAID V2 vs. EDC Concealment Fanny Pack: Both are fanny-pack trauma kits; compare the contents included with each variant. The RAID V2 is an established NAR platform; verify which kit configuration aligns with your required minimum contents.
RAID V2 vs. improvised pocket carry: Loose hemostatic gauze and a tourniquet in a pocket lack organization and risk contamination. The RAID V2 provides organized access, contamination protection, and a complete kit in a purpose-built container. See all individual first aid kits.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Does the RAID V2 Fanny Pack Kit contain evidence-based standard items?
A: Yes. Every configuration includes the evidence-based standard C-A-T® tourniquet, and the Combat Gauze® versions also include evidence-based standard Combat Gauze® Z-Fold. The Basic version carries plain NAR® S-Rolled gauze and the Celox™ versions carry CELOX™ Gauze Z-fold. The exact contents of each version are listed in the Kit Contents tab.
Q: Can I train with the RAID V2 or are the supplies single-use?
A: Medical supplies inside the RAID V2 are single-use clinical items. The pouch/case is reusable. Use training equivalents (non-clinical training tourniquet, training gauze) to practice kit access and deployment drills. Reserve mission-ready contents for actual emergencies.
Q: Is the RAID V2 TSA-compliant for air travel?
A: Medical supplies like tourniquets and hemostatic dressings are generally permitted in carry-on and checked baggage, but specific items (scissors, shears) may require checked baggage. Consult current TSA and airline regulations for medical equipment before travel. Carry documentation that items are for medical use.

A: NSN availability for the RAID V2 depends on configuration. Contact MED-TAC International for current NSN listings, government pricing, and available contract vehicles for your procurement office.
