I provide training in my Unit for the IFAK and it is a vast improvement to what we used to do. A lot of what I talked about was improvisation with what you have (cardboard, duct tape, etc.) The IFAK Tourniquet is easily applied with one hand, having splinting materials immediately to hand is also useful. Admitedly, the powder to make a sports drinks for dehydration is not a requirement in many circumstances, but you have to remember the climate that many of our Troops are deployed to. All in all, everyone has been impressed with the new IFAK. I personally wish I had come up with the Combat Application Tourniquet; it is simple, effective and the inventor is undoubtedly making a killing off of it.
