Hershey, PA – July 13, 2018 – Rockwell Tactical Group (RTG) introduces the new RTG Med Kits, a line of compact first-aid kits prepared by medical professionals to give everyone the ability to stop bleeding whenever or wherever a medical emergency takes place.
The RTG Med Kit line offers three product options: the RTG Everyday Carry Kit, RTG Basic Individual First-Aid Kits (IFAK), and the RTG Advanced IFAK.
Everyday Carry Kit. The RTG EDC Kit provides everything needed to treat a wide range of trauma injuries. The kit can be stored as is or broken down and organized to fit a pouch to work with a duty kit. Kit materials come in a resealable bag which can double as an improvised occlusive dressing. Kits include one pair of blue Nitrile gloves, one SWAT-T tourniquet, and one Celox Rapid 5’ Hemostatic gauze. Learn more.
Basic IFAK. RTG Basic IFAK kits come sealed in sterilized bags which double as improvised occlusive dressings. Contents of the Basic IFAK include one pair of blue Nitrile gloves, one SWAT-T Tourniquet, one Celox Rapid 5’ Hemostatic gauze, one H&H DualSeal, one H&H compressed gauze, 5.5 shears, flat duct tape and a 28fr NPA w/lube. Learn more.
Advanced IFAK. The RTG Advanced IFAK kit includes everything within the Basic IFAK kit, plus a Wide SOFT-T Tourniquet, two TPAK Needles and replacement of the compressed gauze with a Thin H standard dressing. Learn more.
“We never know when and where a life-threatening emergency will take place. Each RTG med kit, coupled with a knowledge of the MARCH protocol, can help save lives,” said Jared Ross, owner, Rockwell Tactical Group. “We encourage everyone to seek first-aid training and carry a first-aid kit with them everywhere, so the tools needed to potentially save a life are always nearby.”
This year Rockwell Tactical added medical training courses to is roster; each created and taught by a Special Operations Combat Medic and a former Greenside Navy Corpsman, now New York City Paramedic. Courses teach basic trauma management using the MARCH Protocol, different than standard EMS, are hands-on and concludes by giving each student a practical exercise. Information on upcoming RTG Med Courses and course descriptions can be found at www.rockwelltactical.com/medical.
Textron Systems has over 14 of experience developing Case-Telescoped weapons and ammunition.
In fact, it’s their Lightweight Small Arms Technology demonstrator (6.5mm box fed version seen below) which served as the inspiration for the US Army’s Next-Generation Squad Automatic Rifle program.
Earlier this year, the Army released a Production Opportunity Notice for NGSAR, which is intended to replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon in Brigade Combat Teams. Based on program requirements, the prototype must weigh less than 12 pounds, with ammunition weighing 20 percent less than an equivalent brass case.
Textron Systems is one of six companies selected by the Army to develop a weapon under the PON. Textron Systems’ prototype will be an intermediate caliber, high-velocity, magazine-fed system.
This builds upon two related awards that Textron Systems recently received from the Army for advanced weapons and fire control technologies; one for Next Generation Squad Weapon Technologies (NGSW-T), and another for fire control capability development.
On a final note, I’d like to point out that this is an answer and not the answer to the Army’s requirement. There are several other solutions which will be looked at which include ammunition. What’s more, there will be a couple more times at bat before the Army picks its solution.
NGSAR is the most ambitious small arms program ever. A lot will be learned and much can happen in the ensuing years; new materials developed and scientific breakthroughs. On the other hand, new priorities may take hold in the years it will take to develop this requirement and solution.

The much anticipated Magpul Suppressor Cover is now shipping.
Constructed of a heat-resistant polymer sleeve overlaid onto a raised stainless steel heat shield that mounts directly to the suppressor body with steel clamps, the Magpul Suppressor Cover – 5.5” minimizes heat transfer to keep external cover temperatures up to 1000 degrees F cooler than the surface of the suppressor and allows cooling airflow across the can. Additionally, it serves as an enhanced thermal insulator and signature reduction device, significantly mitigating mirage distortions to the shooter’s sight picture, reducing the likelihood of impact damage to the suppressor body, and lessening the chance of accidental heat-related injury or damage to personnel or equipment during weapon firing and cool down. Optimized for 1.5” outer diameter round suppressors with a body length of approximately 5.5” (not including attachment hardware / interface) such as the Surefire SOCOM556-RC2. Other lengths are in the works and are coming soon.
Features:
· Extreme temperature protection that mitigates internal suppressor temperatures to safe levels
· Minimizes retained heat, allowing faster cooling than any other suppressor cover technology
· Reduces thermal signature of host firearm
· Mitigates mirage effects in sight picture
· Two stainless steel clamps provide a strong, rigid and reliable interface capable of sustained firing sessions and rough handling
· High temp polymer sleeve withstands brutal suppressor temperatures during extended periods of firing without deterioration
· High strength corrosion resistant stainless steel heat shield
Specs:
· Weight: 9.6oz
· Outer Diameter (OD): 2.5″
· Made in USA

Essentially, this is an improved version of LBT’s Drop Down Rifle Bag as it now accommodates a 16” barrel equipped, collapsible Stock AR.
The rifle is concealed near the back, in its own panel. The rest of the pack is available for your load carriage needs.
As you can see, an extendable tail drops down to accommodate the rifle, when carried.
