The Combat Medic/Corpsman aid bag has equipment similar to that in the CLS bag but provides an additional quantity of TCCC lifesaving equipment to support care of multiple casualties.

The enhanced skill set of the Combat Medic/Corpsman also warrants additional medical equipment not found in the CLS bag to support a broader scope of care. For example, the CMC aid bag contains junctional tourniquets for massive hemorrhage control, advanced airways and cricothyroidotomy kits for airway management, and intravenous and intraosseous access supplies, IV fluids, blood products, and medications to address circulation issues and shock, to name a few.
