Be Advised: There are two different meanings of the term "IFAK," depending on your branch of service! The Army and Marines have very different IFAK's, with completely different sets of components.

USAMMA Message regarding US Army IFAK fielding:
"Product Description: The IFAK will be issued to every Soldier via the Soldier as a System (SaaS) Rapid Fielding Initiative (RFI). Weighing one pound, the IFAK will consist of expendable medical items packaged inside of a modified MOLLE 100 roundSAW ammo pouch.
Benefit Against the Threat: The IFAK increases individual Soldier capabilities to provide Self- Aid / Buddy-Aid and provides interventions for two leading causes of death on the battlefield, severe hemorrhage and inadequate airway. These capabilities increase Soldier survivability during dispersed operations and the expandable pouch allows for METT-C specific “add-ins”.
Fielding and Ordering Guidance: The IFAK is included as a component of the RFI fielding schedule and will address all deployed and deploying units. The IFAK is AAC “L” (local purchase) and units are able to purchase additional IFAKs via standard Class VIII methods. NSN: 6545-01-530-0929, Unit Cost: $100.00."
