T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit

North American Rescue — T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit

Compact, vacuum-sealed individual triage kit for tactical operators and first-arriving officers. Contains four T2 Tag individual kits with chemical lights and status stickers, a laminated SALT triage flow sheet, and a grease pencil — everything a single officer needs to sort and mark casualties in a compressed footprint.

When a first-arriving officer reaches a multi-casualty scene, they’re making triage decisions in the first 60 seconds. The T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit is designed for that moment: compact enough to carry on a patrol belt or plate carrier, vacuum-sealed for long-term storage, and pre-organized for immediate deployment without assembly.

Why vacuum-sealed?

The plastic vacuum pouch compresses the kit to a fraction of its unpackaged volume — small enough for a cargo pocket, belt pouch, or duty bag. The seal protects contents from moisture and contamination during long-term storage. At the scene, the officer breaks the seal and deploys immediately. The T2 Tags inside are liquid-resistant and all-weather — once deployed, they perform in rain, blood, and field conditions that destroy paper tags.

Sort Fast. Tag Right. Move On.

When to Deploy the T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit

• First-arriving officer at a multi-casualty scene: Before the full MCI kit arrives, the first officer on scene can begin SALT triage immediately. The vacuum pouch breaks open, the Triage Officer Kit is ready in seconds, and the officer sorts up to four casualties before the next unit arrives.
• Tactical operator on a high-risk operation: LE tactical operators conducting high-risk warrant service or active threat response carry the T2 Tactical Kit on-body. If the operation generates casualties, the operator has immediate triage capability without returning to a vehicle or waiting for EMS.
• Security team at a high-density venue: Event security and facility response teams carry individual T2 Tactical Kits. At a mass-casualty event, security personnel act as first triage wave — tagging and sorting before EMS arrives, providing the IC with a casualty count and category breakdown on arrival.
• Patrol officer training and qualification: Departments mandating MCI triage training issue the T2 Tactical SALT Kit for skill practice. Officers train with the actual kit they’ll carry on duty, building muscle memory for the vacuum seal break, tag deployment, and SALT flowchart use.
• Low-profile carry requirement: Personnel who need triage capability without the bulk of a full MCI kit — plainclothes officers, undercover personnel, or responders in a non-uniform role — can carry the vacuum-sealed T2 Tactical Kit in a jacket pocket or small bag.

How the T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit Compares

T2 Tactical SALT Kit vs. T2 MCI Management Kit: The Tactical SALT Kit is a single-officer field kit — 4 tags, compact, on-body carry. The T2 MCI Management Kit is the full incident command system — 80 tags, command boards, designed for IC use at a formal MCI. They are complementary: individual officers carry the Tactical Kit; the IC deploys the full MCIM Kit.

T2 Tags vs. standard paper triage tags: Paper triage tags degrade in rain, blood, and field conditions. T2 Tags are liquid-resistant and all-weather. The chemical lights in each T2 Tag kit also provide low-light casualty marking — a function paper tags do not provide.

T2 Tactical SALT Kit vs. improvised triage: Officers who arrive without triage tags default to verbal sorting, arm signals, or improvised markers — methods that fail at scale and produce no trackable record. The T2 Tactical Kit gives every officer a formal triage system in their pocket, no improvisation required.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How many casualties can be triaged with one T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit?

A: The kit contains 4 T2 Tag individual kits, so one officer can formally tag up to 4 casualties. For larger casualty counts, additional kits or the full T2 MCI Management Kit are required.

Q: Is the T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit waterproof?

A: The kit is vacuum-sealed in a plastic pouch — contents are protected until the seal is broken. The T2 Tags inside are liquid-resistant and perform in rain and contaminated environments. The laminated flow sheet is also weather-resistant.

Q: Can the T2 Tactical SALT Kit be used for START triage?

A: The T2 Tags are compatible with both SALT and START protocols. The included flow sheet is SALT-specific — if your jurisdiction uses START, refer to your training for the decision algorithm. The tags themselves function with either triage system.

Q: What is the shelf life of the T2 Tactical SALT Triage Kit?

A: Contact MED-TAC International or North American Rescue for current shelf life specifications. The vacuum seal and dry storage conditions extend usable life significantly compared to unsealed triage tag kits.
