PRODUCT INFORMATION

North American Rescue · Course-Validated LE IFAK

STORM Operator IFAK

The official kit of the S.T.O.R.M. course — Specialized Tactics for Operational Rescue and Medicine — specified jointly by the National Tactical Officers Association and the Medical College of Georgia's Center of Operational Medicine. Its contents are built around the three preventable causes of death in tactical environments: extremity hemorrhage, tension pneumothorax and airway obstruction. Nothing is carried for show.

NTOA + MCG course kitC-A-T · HyFin Vent · ARSDrop-leg / belt / MOLLE3 colors

A kit gets heavy one 'nice to have' at a time, and a heavy kit gets left in the car. This one earns every ounce against the three mechanisms that actually kill.

S.T.O.R.M. = Specialized Tactics for Operational Rescue and Medicine. The store title for this product is written STORM Operator IFAK; the course and the bag are the same S.T.O.R.M.

▾Who Carries It

Tactical law enforcement and SWAT operators carrying a course-validated IFAK for self-aid and buddy-aid · S.T.O.R.M. course students, for whom this is the matched kit to the curriculum · Patrol officers who need one kit that moves between a drop-leg rig, a duty belt and a vest as the assignment and dress code change · Agencies standardizing a roster, where every operator's kit should open the same way in someone else's hands.

A minimum of TCCC All Service Member or Combat Lifesaver training is appropriate for the hemorrhage-control contents. The ARS needle decompression kit and the nasopharyngeal airway are provider-scope items: they require provider-level training — EMT, paramedic or equivalent — and medical director authorization. Confirm your unit medical officer has approved that scope before those two items go into an operational loadout; carry the kit without them if not.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Is the STORM Operator IFAK tourniquet CoTCCC-recommended?

Yes. The STORM Operator IFAK includes the C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®), which is CoTCCC-recommended for the management of life-threatening extremity hemorrhage. The C-A-T® is the most widely deployed tourniquet in U.S. military history and the benchmark tourniquet in tactical combat casualty care training and operations.

What organization developed the STORM Operator IFAK?

The STORM Operator IFAK was developed as the official kit for the S.T.O.R.M. (Specialized Tactics for Operational Rescue and Medicine) courses, created in partnership by the National Tactical Officers Association (NTOA) and the Medical College of Georgia's Center of Operational Medicine. This collaboration brings together law enforcement tactical expertise and trauma medicine clinical expertise to define evidence-based IFAK contents for law enforcement professionals.

What are the three preventable causes of death this kit addresses?

The STORM IFAK is designed to address the top three preventable causes of death in tactical environments: extremity bleeding (approximately 60% of preventable deaths)—addressed by the C-A-T® tourniquet and gauze; tension pneumothorax (approximately 33%)—addressed by the HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack and ARS® Needle Decompression Kit; and airway obstruction (approximately 6%)—addressed by the pre-lubricated Nasopharyngeal Airway (NPA 28F).

What colors and carry options are available?

The STORM Operator IFAK is available in Black (SKU 80-0133), Olive Drab (SKU 80-0134), and Coyote Tan (SKU 80-0135). The STORM bag supports three carry configurations: drop-down leg rig, direct duty belt attachment, and MOLLE/PALS attachment to body armor or assault vests—allowing law enforcement officers to stage the kit in the position best suited to their assignment and uniform requirements.

Why does the STORM IFAK include a Twin Pack chest seal rather than a single?

The HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack provides two seals for the front and back wounds that occur in penetrating chest trauma (a through-and-through trajectory). When a projectile or blade penetrates the chest wall, it creates two wound sites—an entry and exit. Both sites require occlusive sealing to prevent tension pneumothorax, so having two seals in a single kit ensures both wounds can be treated without needing a second kit.

Is the STORM Operator IFAK tourniquet CoTCCC-recommended?

Yes. The STORM Operator IFAK includes the C-A-T® (Combat Application Tourniquet®), which is CoTCCC-recommended for life-threatening extremity hemorrhage. The full kit targets all three leading preventable causes of tactical death with CoTCCC-recognized interventions.

What training is recommended for the STORM Operator IFAK?

Minimum: TCCC All Service Member or Combat Lifesaver. The ARS and NPA components require provider-level training (EMT, paramedic, or equivalent) and medical director authorization. The STORM course (NTOA/MCG) is the recommended comprehensive training for this kit.

What is the carry configuration for the STORM Operator IFAK?

The STORM bag supports three configurations: drop-leg rig, direct duty belt attachment, and MOLLE/PALS mount to body armor or assault vest. Configuration is tool-free for rapid repositioning between assignments.

What is the NSN or procurement path for the STORM Operator IFAK?

Available in Black (80-0133), OD (80-0134), and Coyote Tan (80-0135) through MED-TAC International. Agency procurement can reference NAR's GSA contract vehicles; contact NAR or MED-TAC for current NSN status.

Why does the STORM IFAK include a twin-pack chest seal?

The HyFin® Vent Chest Seal Twin Pack provides two seals to treat both entry and exit wounds in penetrating chest trauma — a through-and-through trajectory creates two wound sites, both requiring occlusive sealing to prevent tension pneumothorax. A single seal treats only one wound.
