SUMMARY
First Aid Kit was first produced in 1967 as a replacement for the canvas Jungle First Aid Kit (JFAK) pouch from WW II. Its size (4-3/4 inches high by 2-3/8 deep by 4-1/2 wide) was designed to accommodate a plastic insert box that contained the components of the Individual First Aid Kit. The first pattern had snaps to fasten the cover flap, as did the JFAK. The case could be attached to a belt via two Alice clips (M1910 hooks in the first pattern). The case was also later equipped with a Velcro loop for attaching it to a parachute harness. The Medical Dept. insignia was on the front of the flap, between the fasteners.
The plastic insert (NSN 6545-01-094-6136 First Aid Kit, Individual, Plastic Insert) was an olive drab box with a flip top, just a little smaller than the nylon case so it easily slips inside. The first aid kit contents were packed in the insert and sealed with a dated green adhesive label. When used, or when the contents expiration date was reached, the insert was replaced with a fresh one and the old insert returned to supply to be refilled.
The FSN/NSN assignment can be confusing because there was a number for the entire kit (e.g. 6545-01-094-8412) and also a number for the case (e.g. 6545-01-094-6142) and for the plastic insert box (e.g. 6545-01-094-6136) plus NSNs for each content item. All of these kits are visually identical (except for the transition to ALICE clips, and snaps to LTD), but may vary a little in dimensions and contents.
