Unit One Medic Bag

For many years, the "Unit One" combat medic bag was carried by hospital corpsmen and medics, and was their primary source of medical supplies in field environments. Although replaced in some areas by the MOLLE Medic Bag, the Unit One is still used in many areas.

It is relatively light weight (9 pounds fully loaded), and can be opened without removing it from the shoulder. Although it comes equipped with standard supplies, these are often modified by individual corpsmen and medics to meet their tactical situation and personal preferences.
