Carrying a quad-fold litter into a fast-rope insertion or high-speed direct action means the litter cannot shift or eject under extreme dynamic movement — losing it mid-mission is not an option.
What keeps the litter locked down through FRIES and dynamic entry?
The RIG Series is the enhanced version built for the most demanding SOF and tactical-LE applications. Its signature upgrade is an additional securing strap over the top of the litter — preventing shift or ejection even during FRIES operations, helicopter hoisting, and the extreme movement of direct action and tactical entries. Three additional handles give controlled packing and unloading, and upgraded padded shoulder straps address fatigue on long-duration carries during extended patrols. A top-flap pocket stows the Heat Reflective Shell and a back-panel pocket holds the Heating Element and Casualty Equipment Bag (sold separately) — integrating thermal patient-management supplies directly into the carrier. Built from 500D CORDURA® solution-dyed nylon with GhillieTEX™ IR-reduction hardware, with external MOLLE for mission-dependent equipment.

When to Deploy the Rig Series Assault Litter Carrier
- Litter carry for assault-tempo operations: The Rig Series carrier allows a team to carry a CASEVAC litter as part of the assault element's kit without a dedicated litter team following behind.
- Urban assault and building clearance: Compact pack profile allows litter to be brought to the breach point, staged, and deployed immediately when a casualty occurs during entry.
- Vehicle staging for rapid-dismount CASEVAC: Carriers store in vehicle compartments, allowing a pre-staged, immediately-deployable litter at any dismount location.
- SOF and direct-action unit CASEVAC: Special operations units integrate the Rig Series carrier into assault kit layouts where a purpose-built litter carrier is required without the weight penalty of a full medical bag.
- Training cadre support: Training teams use the carrier to stage litters for CASEVAC lane training scenarios — standardized across the team for realistic replication of field conditions.
How the Rig Series Assault Litter Carrier Compares
Rig Series vs. carrying a litter without a dedicated carrier: Litters without a carrier are bulky, prone to being left behind, and time-consuming to deploy from a tied configuration. The Rig Series carrier provides organized, immediately-accessible litter carry that integrates with the assault element's kit.
Rig Series Assault Litter Carrier vs. TALON II Assault Litter Carrier: Both are assault-specific litter carriers; compare the specific litter compatibility, MOLLE attachment configuration, and packed dimensions for your assigned litter system. Match the carrier to your fielded litter.
Rig Series vs. full medic bag carry: A medic bag carries the complete medical loadout; the Rig Series carrier delivers just the CASEVAC litter component. The two are complementary in a team medical plan, not alternatives.
Rig Series vs. non-rigid litter carry (QuickLitter pouch): Non-rigid litters pack smaller and don't require a dedicated carrier system. If weight and space are the primary constraint, a non-rigid option may be more appropriate. If a rigid litter is required, the Rig Series carrier is the organized carry solution.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the Rig Series Assault Litter Carrier compatible with all NAR litters?
A: The Rig Series carrier is designed for specific litter models. Confirm compatibility with your assigned litter (TALON II, RAVEN 90C, T3, etc.) by reviewing the product specifications or contacting MED-TAC International with your litter model.
Q: Does the Rig Series carrier attach to MOLLE/PALS?
A: Yes. The Rig Series Assault Litter Carrier uses MOLLE/PALS webbing for attachment to vests, bags, and vehicle-mounted platforms. Verify row count and attachment width compatibility with your specific platform.
Q: What is the NSN for the Rig Series Assault Litter Carrier?
A: Contact MED-TAC International for current NSN, pricing, and government procurement options for the Rig Series carrier. Our sales team can support unit MIPR, DLA ordering, and GPC procurement.
Q: Can the Rig Series carrier be used with non-NAR litters?
A: Compatibility with non-NAR litters depends on the pole diameter, handle configuration, and packed dimensions of the specific litter. Review the carrier's interior dimensions against your litter's packed specifications.
Q: Is the Rig Series carrier designed for single-person or two-person deployment?
A: The carrier is a litter carry system — it stages the litter for quick deployment. Patient loading and carry requires two persons for most rigid litters. The carrier itself can be managed by one person during movement to a position.
