    Funding ($M)
    The RFI fielded 961,000 IFAKS, and the program has concluded. Funding responsibility beyond RFI has transitioned to Program Executive Office Clothing and Textile.

    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 Information


    The IFAK was provided to all deployed and deploying units by the RFI. The IFAK is AAC D (DoD Integrated Materiel).
