SUMMARY

Early inn 2003 the US Marine Corps, Marine Corps System Command fielded a new individual first aid kit (IFAK) for use by Marine Corps and US Navy medical personnel. They were first issued in small numbers in Afghanistan, then thousands were provided to equip Marines going into Operation Iraqi Freedom in 2003.By 2004 the new kit was available to every Marine as a standard part of the USMC Individual equipment, a total of 213,000 deployed. The new first aid kit is designed to be more compact and have a greater life saving capability for those with severe bleeding from combat wounds.

In addition to the Marine Corps, the Air Force Medical Service and other units of the U.S. military have adopted the USMC-developed Individual First Aid Kit.
