The TacMed R-AID Kit is a multi-casualty trauma system built for trained responders who need immediate access to life-saving supplies across a wide range of critical injuries. Measuring 21.5" H x 17.5" W x 6.5" D and weighing 17.5 lbs fully stocked, the kit ships ready to deploy as an assault aid bag, vehicle kit, or combat lifesaver bag. Three carry configurations — backpack, shoulder sling, or panel-mounted — let you adapt to any operational environment without repacking.

Who this is for

• Combat medics and 68Ws who need a single bag covering hemorrhage control, airway management, chest trauma, and casualty packaging in a forward environment.
• Law enforcement and tactical teams running the kit as a vehicle bag or assault aid bag where multi-casualty capability matters more than minimal footprint.
• Combat lifesavers and trained civilians who want a pre-configured, built-to-order kit that eliminates guesswork on contents and organization.

Bag layout and access

The R-AID bag organizes its contents across three distinct zones. The top flap loads all critical intervention supplies for immediate, one-motion access — no digging, no unzipping a main compartment under stress. The second main compartment holds items required for advanced treatments and casualty packaging. The rear sleeve dedicates space entirely to triage and casualty marking materials, keeping those items separate and ready without contaminating the treatment zones.

The bag supports three carry configurations: worn as a backpack for foot movement, hung as a panel on a vehicle or wall mount, or slung over a shoulder as a messenger bag for lateral access on the move. Each configuration is field-switchable without removing any contents.

Treatment capabilities

The contents equip a trained individual to manage the following injury categories:

• Hemorrhage control — tourniquets and pressure bandages for extremity and junctional bleeding.
• Basic and advanced airway management — nasopharyngeal airways and a surgical airway kit for progressive airway intervention.
• Penetrating chest trauma — petrolatum gauze for wound sealing and chest injury management.
• Burn care — packaging supplies for thermal injury treatment.
• Splinting — moldable splints for fracture and extremity stabilization.
• Eye injuries — dedicated supplies for ocular trauma treatment.
• Triage and casualty marking — TacMed Combat Casualty Tags and marking materials stored in the dedicated rear sleeve.

Frequently asked questions

What does this kit work with?

The R-AID Kit functions as a standalone multi-casualty system and does not require a parent armor platform. It mounts to a vehicle, wears as a backpack, or slings over a shoulder. If you need the bag shell without contents, the R-AID Bag is available for separate purchase.

Is this kit truly built to order, and how long does shipping take?

Yes. As a built-to-order kit, shipping times extend beyond standard lead times. If you need a confirmed delivery date or have a time-sensitive requirement, contact us before placing your order so we can give you an accurate timeline.

What is the expiration date on this variant?

This specific stocked variant (RAID-STK-B) expires July 2026 and is sold as final sale. Returns cannot be accepted. If you need a kit with a longer shelf life, contact us to discuss a freshly built option.

Does this kit cover multiple casualties, or just one?

It covers multiple casualties. The contents include enough bandages, tourniquets, airways, and packaging supplies to begin treatment on more than one patient. Triage tags and casualty marking materials are pre-loaded in the dedicated rear sleeve for immediate deployment.

What training level does a user need to operate this kit?

The kit is designed for trained responders — combat medics, combat lifesavers, law enforcement medical personnel, or equivalently trained civilians. Some items, including the surgical airway kit, require advanced procedural training. This is not a basic first-aid kit.

Can I customize the kit contents for my unit or agency?

The built-to-order model supports customization. Contact us with your specific requirements and we can coordinate a configuration that fits your mission profile and quantity needs.
