FUBAR Fixer
I love some of the enteries, but to keep things simple, basic and universal… how about simply:
TTK
Tactical Trauma Kit
Explanation: in the medical field injury/illness is defined as “Medical” or “Trauma”. “Trauma” can then be broken down into sub-catagories as to cause etc… (this kit treats trauma, not medical).
“Tactical” describes the type of trauma (not the operator or kit per say) because the specific wounds are trauma related to tactical injuries (could be combat, LEO, civi etc… tactical is non-specific enough as to operator but narrows the trauma). “Kit” because it is too small for a Pack (a pack would be large, able to treat many more type of injuries and multiple people).
ballistic injury kit
I don’t like “Individual” because it could be used for self or others (though i understand the individual refers to the kit owner as opposed to a team kit).
I don’t like “Medical” because as an EMS provider i think of medical as sickness, not injury.
I don’t like “pack” becasue i think of something with much more gear.
I don’t like “First Aid” becasue, while it does describe it correctly (the First Aid provided), again, as an EMS provider i think of “First Aid” as basic layperson aid (as in band-aids), just my perception (basic lay-person classes are usually refered to as “first aid” while other courses are “Life Support”, “causualty care”…). I know the military adopted the IFAK, didn’t like the name.
I don’t like “life support” as this usually refers to Cardiac arrest (BLS, ALS…).
I don’t like using “Combat” because i think military and this kit would be used by LEOs and Tac-Civis as well.
I do like TCCCK but for the “combat” and it would infringe on the TCCC course name…
Maybe TCCK (Tactical Causualty Care Kit)… it describes the kit by it’s guidelines (the TCCC guidelines etc…) without being an infringment or military specific.
