Combat Medical Gear
Essential tools could mean life or death.
At the International School of Tactical Medicine (ISTM) in Palm Springs, CA, tactical medical gear is an ever-evolving discussion. In the tactical medical environment we are constantly bombarded with more new equipment that we’re expected to carry. This equipment gets very heavy. Everyone wants to know what the right toolkit to have is and how to deploy it. I wish it were that simple.
Equipment Lists Vary: We’re asked to provide standard lists of equipment needed for a tactical operation for an agency SOP. If there was a standard configuration, it would be easy. There is no single standard for the makeup of any tactical unit, much less its medical element.
