Medical kits are one of the most important pieces of gear that virtually every operator will carry into every mission. And, even when there is a dedicated medic for the team everyone needs to have the ability to administer first aid and to hold off any injury until more help arrives. Because all teams need medical kits, their types will vary deepening on the size of the team or squad on a mission. That is why there are, generally, three types of med-kits you will see in the field:
  1. First aid kits
  2. Field medic kits
  3. Field surgical kits
And, while the first two can be used by most soldiers and don’t require a lot of training, the surgical kit demands the operator to be trained as a surgeon doctor. Thankfully, the modern military infrastructure allows for smaller teams and can have medical personnel ready in the back. For those who want to buy first aid kits and medic kits, several options will be available for sale. And, while the models are quite similar the content doesn’t need to be. Different missions will demand different treatments. Something like sterile gauze and tourniquets will be everywhere. But, items like anti-venom or dermal disinfectant will be only in very specific areas and missions.

Team Medical Kits

Even if every member of the team will have their own emergency kit, there should be a dedicated person that will ensure the survivability of everyone else. With additional training and experience, a medic is an invaluable member of any mission, especially on the battlefield. Team medical kits are significantly larger than personal ones and have a wider range of instruments and medical equipment needed by the Army and large law enforcement missions. This includes everything required for bullet-wound treatment, as well as for burns and cuts. Team kits will fall into two types, depending on if they are supposed to be carried on the battle belt or as a chest rig. Dedicated medics will usually prefer the latter as they can remove the kit and place it on the ground before a procedure. Finally, there are options to hold a medical kit as a backpack. For prolonged missions that might be the best idea, but if there are specific parameters that require a swift and decisive action it is better not to encumber the medic with such gear.

Self-Application and First-Aid Kits

First aid kits for soldiers and other operators that can be found in either combat zones or dangerous jobs will usually be in a form of a relatively small pouch that will be attached to the battle belt or body armor. Ideally, you will want the operator to be able to reach the pouch and its contents on their own and apply them to their person. Due to the nature of the injury taken this might not be possible, and in that case, the pouch should be accessible by their teammates. As for the contents, the two main goals of a first aid kit is to stabilize the wound and stop the bleeding. Removing the round is not the best course of action for the untrained and it is best to wait for a trained medical officer and more sterile conditions than the middle of the battlefield. Inside, you should find tactical shears as well as gauze and tourniquets. Additionally, some sort of painkillers and locally viable anti-venom or detox agents should be present.

Rescue and Stabilization Medical Kits

Finally, there are kits that are not there ‘’just in case’’ but are essential to the mission at hand. When the goal is to rescue an injured person you will need a full range of gear to be certain not to run out of anything before the patient is stabilized. Thankfully, these missions usually don’t require a lot of maneuvering so carrying a wider selection won’t be an issue weight-wise. Still, the mobility of the medic should be at least good enough that there is no chance for anyone else to require assistance afterward. For such a field kit, having a field selection of painkillers, as well as stimulants and relaxants will be necessary. Additionally, the patient will usually need to be prepared for transportation, which will require some leavers and fastening belts, especially if it is an air extraction. Finally, these types of kits will include tools that are used to treat wounds as well as extract projectiles. In modern cases, that will also include wound glue and similar items.
