Item Description
Original Item: Only One Available. Combat Medics may put themselves in greater harm than many other roles on the battlefield. In the type of asymmetric warfare which typifies modern conflicts, the enemy may or may not have respect for the laws of war and may or may not in fact actively target medics for the significant value they have in keeping the unit combat-effective. Thus, in most modern forces, medics are armed and do not wear large identifying red cross insignia. A rifle or carbine is standard, often augmented with a sidearm because the medic may have to pass his rifle off to his patient or fellow war fighter in order to treat the wounded.
Noting that when not on patrol or deployment combat medics may be posted to a clinic style medical center where they treat soldiers in an outpatient primary health care style.
This M3 rubberized medics’ bag is free of any major damage but does show signs of heavy usage due to the wear and fading to the exterior. The contents inside consist of various WW2 dated bandages, which was not uncommon during the Korean War. There are unopened battle dressings, medical tape, water purification tablets, iodine tablets, sodium tablets, Calamine lotion and much more medical material.
This is truly a wonderful example of a kit utilized by the most important person on any battlefield, Doc. Comes ready to display!
