The three great strengths of the MOLLE Medic Bag are:
Increased Capacity - When configured for the full 1576 cubic inches, the MOLLE Medic Bag weighs about 27 pounds. This can limit the mobility and endurance of the corpsman/medic, particularly in hot weather.
Increased Capability - Not all standard medical supplies are appropriate for all levels of corpsmen and medics.
Increased Flexibility - Command guidance is necessary prior to each mission to assure appropriate bag configuration and quantities of medical supplies.
While there are nearly limitless ways of configuring the MOLLE Medic Bag, one standard configuration involves identifying three basic mission profiles:
LIGHT, MEDIUM, AND HEAVY
LIGHT MISSIONS (Vest Pouches Only)
- 1-3 days duration
- Light or no casualties expected
- MEDEVAC readily available with fast response
- Resupply readily available
- Lightest Load (about 8 pounds)
- Greatest Mobility
- Modest Medical Capability
MEDIUM MISSIONS (Vest Pouches, Back Pack)
- 4-14 days duration
- Up to moderate casualties expected
- MEDEVAC availability more limited
- Resupply more limited
- Medium Load (about 18 pounds)
- Moderate Mobility
- Moderate Medical Capability (IV's, Diagnostics)
HEAVY MISSIONS (Vest Pouches, Back Pack, Bag Pouches, IV Bandoleer)
- more than 14 days duration
- Up to heavy casualties expected
- MEDEVAC availability limited or periodically unavailable
- Resupply limited or unpredictable
- Heavy Load (about 26 pounds)
- Least Mobility
Greatest Medical Capability (IV's, Diagnostics, Quantity of supplies)
Using this model, the medical commander would first determine the basic mission profile, then add additional components or remove components from the basic load. For example, the MEDIUM MISSION LOAD weighs about 18 pounds, but could be 3 pounds lighter if IV capability is not needed at the corpsman/medic level.
