Warrior Aid & Litter Kit (WALK), NSN 6545-01-532-4962

Benefit Against the Threat
Attacks against lightly armored vehicles continue to be a source of injury and death to our Soldiers.  They must rely on equipment carried on the vehicles and individuals to provide care and conduct evacuation. The current vehicle first aid kit cannot meet the minimum requirements for life saving. A need exists for a WALK that can be carried on every vehicle traveling in a convoy or on a combat patrol within the current tactical theaters.

Product Description
The WALK will be stowed onboard vehicles to be used by the first responder. The WALK will not replace the Improved First Aid Kit (IFAK) or the Combat Life Saver Bag, but will be complimentary to both and will contain a foldable litter and provide the tools to treat and overcome the three most common causes of preventable combat deaths on the battlefield (hemorrhaging, tension pneumothorax, and inadequate airway).

Fielding and Ordering Information
The WALK Basis of Issue is recommended as 1 per vehicle. AMEDD does not have central funding allocated against the WALK.  The WALK is AAC “L” (local purchase) and units are able to purchase additional WALKs via standard Class VIII methods. Units can also purchase this item from our online store.
