Squad Bag

What are the dimensions of the North American Rescue Squad Bag?

The NAR Squad Bag measures H 7.75″ × W 13″ × D 9″ and weighs only 1.36 lbs empty. This compact, lightweight format is designed for squad-level trauma kit carry — attached to a vehicle, worn at the waist, or carried in a pack — rather than as a primary individual medical pack.

Does the NAR Squad Bag come with medical supplies?

No. The Squad Bag is sold as a bag-only platform without medical contents. It is designed for end-user configuration by the squad or unit carrying it. Stock with CoTCCC-recommended tourniquets, hemorrhage control dressings, chest seals, and airway adjuncts based on mission requirements.

What is the Enhanced Hip Stabilization System on the Squad Bag?

The Enhanced Hip Stabilization System is a design feature on the NAR Squad Bag that prevents the bag from flipping over or rotating when worn horizontally at the waist. This maintains consistent pouch orientation for reliable one-handed access during operations — a critical feature when the bag is being accessed under stress or while moving.

What colors is the NAR Squad Bag available in?

The NAR Squad Bag is available in Black, Olive Drab, Coyote Tan, Multicam, and Rescue Orange. Tactical colors serve military and law enforcement applications requiring reduced visual signature. Rescue Orange provides maximum visibility for search and rescue teams and is the preferred color for lost or injured responders who need to be located.

Is the NAR Squad Bag MOLLE compatible?

Yes. The NAR Squad Bag features a PALS/MOLLE-style attachment system for integration with existing load-bearing equipment, vehicle mount systems, or larger medical packs. It can be worn as a waist bag, attached to a vehicle roll bar, or mounted to a plate carrier or tactical vest using standard PALS strapping.

Is the NAR Squad Bag CoTCCC-recommended?

The Squad Bag is a medical carry platform, not a medical device; CoTCCC recommendations apply to the clinical interventions and products carried within it. The Squad Bag is designed to carry CoTCCC-recommended components for squad-level care.

What training is appropriate for the Squad Bag carrier?

The Squad Bag is a medic-level bag; primary carrier should be 68W, EMT, paramedic, or equivalent. It may also be used by trained Combat Lifesavers for squad-level hemorrhage control in CLS-authorized loadouts.

What is the capacity of the Squad Bag?

Verify the current bag volume and compartment configuration in the product listing. The Squad Bag is designed to carry supplies for a squad-level element (typically 9–11 personnel) across multiple casualty scenarios.

What is the NSN or procurement path for the Squad Bag?

Available through MED-TAC International. DoD unit medical supply procurement can contact NAR for current NSN and GSA contract vehicle information.

Can the Squad Bag carry both MARCH protocol and advanced care supplies?

Yes. The Squad Bag is designed to accommodate a full MARCH protocol loadout (hemorrhage, airway, respiration, circulation, hypothermia prevention) with additional compartments for advanced care supplies in prolonged field care scenarios.
