Tactical Medical Solutions’ Active Shooter Response Kit allows individuals responding to active shooter situations to render aid and initiate evacuation of multiple causalities without slowing down an assault or clearing process of a structure or incident area.
Contained within the bag are ARK casualty throw kits. These are individually packaged med kits designed to be rapidly distributed to and utilized by uninjured individuals on scene. They contain basic treatment material and simple bi-lingual instruction for providing initial treatment for causalities until a rescue effort arrives. A casualty marker contained within the kit allows responders to quickly identify the injured for treatment.
The bag is not dedicated solely to basic aid, however. Multiple storage compartments allow medics moving with the clearing element not only to distribute throw kits as needed but also to maintain more advanced equipment for treatment of teammates if necessary.
The ARK contains:
– 2x SOF Tactical Tourniquet-W
– 2x Olaes 4” bandage

Rogue Gunfighter was displaying their upcoming products at the High Threat Concealment/Rogue Gunfighter Low Vis Demo Day.
MOAB Armor Carrier
Here’s the MOAB low profile Armor Carrier, which first debuted at SOFIC. It features front panel wings for radios, med gear, etc. Clamshell adapters stay in place via internal Velcro on both the Clamshell and cummerbund. They offer additional PALS webbing and two elastic straps for quick access item retention. It’s also configured to accept clip-on backpacks and chest rigs.
The commercial release of the MOAB will include two Clamshells, and the Octopus detachable chest rig and strap. The Clamshell and Octopus also feature their own SKUs and will be available separately.
Octopus Chest Rig and Strap
The Octopus Chest Rig and Strap comes standard with the MOAB Armor Carrier. This allows the rig attached to the MOAB to function as a standalone chest rig. It features two integrated pistol and rifle magazine pouches with PALS webbing for additional pouches. The strap itself attaches to the buckles of the chest rig and features a Velcro loop back pad with a threaded inner liner.
NO Vis Ankle Med Kit
The NO Vis Ankle Med Kit is a padded, low profile medical pouch designed to be worn underneath a pant leg. It utilizes Velcro hook and loop to stay sealed, and folds out to reveal multiple elastic compartments for medical gear, with one of the compartments featuring a Velcro hook strap to secure a pair of scissors. It also features a breathable mesh liner.
HonorPoint USA displayed several products in the Darley Defense booth. Above you can see a suite of pouches designed for use by Medics assigned to Army SOF and below is the AN/PVS-14 pouch. Next week, we’ll show you the Evolution Bag featuring Zip Off Technology.
“Rapid ascents without sufficient time to adapt to altitude can lead to acute mountain sickness, or AMS,” said Dr. Stephen Muza, acting division chief for the Thermal and Mountain Medicine Division, or TMMD, which is part of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine, or USARIEM. “This condition, marked by nausea, fatigue, headache and gastrointestinal distress, can really throw a wedge into a mission when not planned for.”
To combat the negative effects of AMS on the modern soldier, the Thermal and Mountain Medicine Division (TMMD) of the U.S. Army Research Institute of Environmental Medicine (USARIEM) has been developing a system called Altitude Readiness Management System or ARMS. ARMS combines population-based data with an individual’s altitude exposure, which provides information for sustaining health and improving performance. It predicts the prevalence and severity of altitude stress by incorporating altitude acclimatization, acute mountain sickness and physical work performance decrements. ARMS acts as a prediction for the level of AMS a person is likely to experience during a mission as well as offer ways to reduce and potentially avoid the affects of AMS completely.
“This model allows commanders to mitigate the impact of altitude exposure,” Beidleman said. “It not only predicts whether a Soldier would get ill at certain altitudes, it gives a prescription for exposure. This tool can prescribe, for example, that if (Soldiers spend) two days at 8,000 feet before they go to their final altitude of 14,000 feet, the likelihood and severity of AMS would be drastically reduced.”
The ultimate project goal is to produce a stand-alone software product coupled with the capability to produce a mobile version that could be integrated into a wristwatch, GPS, or smartphone. TMMD is currently collaborating with Massachusetts Institute of Technology’s Lincoln Laboratory to create a smartphone-based app using the ARMS system.
“If a commander has a small unit of 12 Soldiers with specialized skills, and potentially two can get sick, that really impacts their mission,” Beidleman said. “With this tool, he or she can think ahead to bring an extra person or allow for more time for Soldiers to acclimatize to the altitude. Essentially, it tells them the risk and also provides them with ways to mitigate that risk.”

SOTech debuted it’s 2013 Medical Catalogue for the recent MHRS conference and just in time for DOD’s EOY spending. Featured are new law enforcement variants of SOTech’s cutting edge Flat IFAK (patented and patents pending), medical go packs, and RAMMP hanging panel upgrade modules including solar panel options.
Also unique to SOTech’s latest medical, military and law enforcement catalogues are “development assistance” credits attached to products. SOTech wouldn’t be the industry innovator that it is without the input from operators in the field who have given their suggestions and feedback. As a thanks to those supporters over the past 15 years, SOTech included their names in the catalogue, though some are listed as initials for security reasons. SOTech credits their success to relationships with end users.
