Introducing The S.O.Tech Tactical Evacuation Pack

Wednesday, July 12th, 2023

The Tactical Evacuation Pack is a lightweight compressible bag that zips into a small pack that mounts to the belt or upper rear plate carrier and unzips to expose a full size backpack to quickly accept raid evidence or high value items of a wounded soldier for air evacuation.

The durable but ultralight nylon zippered backpack accepts a plate carrier and gun belt with pouches and a helmet with radios to secure a wounded soldier’s high value items. It can also accept laptops, files and media during sensitive site exploitation. At 17” high x 14” wide x 9 “ depth this a substantially sized pack. The pack is also ideal to function in escape and evasion foraging bag in SERE mode. Zippered closure provides positive control of contents and webbing shoulder straps and pull handle facilitate control during movement.

When closed, the small rectangular pouch presents a zippered pouch to hold an optional evacuation marking, lighting and tagging kit as well as a patients face mask. This can be worn on a belt using the Flex Tab MOLLE compatible loops forming a belt pouch that expands into a pack. However, the intended mounting places the closed pack at the top of the rear plate carrier attaching via the Flex Tab MOLLE system or the top of a pack. The small pouch is accessible while main pack is zippered closed.

When unzipped the expanded pack can be worn while MOLLE mounted to the plate carrier, or it can be quickly unfastened and worn like a regular pack using the shoulder straps. Note that when the pouch is kept attached to the vest, the backpack straps can stay inside the pack, or they can pull the body of the pack forward by pulling the shoulder straps onto the shoulders. So when carrying the pack independently, the weight is shared between the shoulders and the point of MOLLE fastening to the upper rear plate carrier. When mounted on the tope of a pack, it can be expanded to carry light loads for a short distance (such as bandages and dressings). Made of 200 denier Cordura nylon in OCP camouflage but also available in tan and black.
