Rescue Task Force medics work the warm zone — the space between the law-enforcement element and staged EMS, where casualties are often multiple and simultaneous and the threat has not been fully cleared. Gear has to ride on the front of the armor, open one-handed, and resupply fast. The NAR Rescue Task Force Chest Pouch is built for exactly that fight: designed for the MKIII RTF Tactical Responder ballistic vest but compatible with any MOLLE/PALS chest platform.
When the casualty count is two and the clock is the threat, does your kit carry doubles — or just one of everything?
The dual-tourniquet, four-seal configuration reflects the statistical reality RTF medics face in active-shooter and mass-casualty response: bilateral extremity wounds and multiple penetrating thoracic casualties. Two HyFin Vent Chest Seal twin packs supply four seals — entry and exit coverage for two patients. The whole load is staged for treatment on the move, not a leisurely sort-through at a clean aid station.
Provider scope: This pouch includes nasopharyngeal airways (28F) intended for use by providers trained and credentialed in basic airway management. Airway adjuncts should be carried and used within your scope of practice and local protocol. This listing describes the kit’s contents and configuration; it is not a substitute for accredited tactical-casualty-care training.
Why This Pouch
2× C-A-T tourniquets, 2× ETD 6 in., 2× wound packing gauze, and four HyFin Vent seals — enough to treat two simultaneous casualties without rationing.
A 7.25 in. trauma shear rides outside the pouch on a Scissor Leash — cut clothing off a casualty without opening the pouch or losing the tool under fire.
500D CORDURA solution-dyed nylon with Near Infrared Signature Reduction supports covert and low-light operations alongside the ballistic platform.
Contents include the CoTCCC-recommended C-A-T tourniquet and HyFin Vent Chest Seal — point-of-injury tools, carried on the chest where the medic can reach them.
