US Military First Aid Case

Issued First Aid Pouch

This is the US Army first aid case, the small snap-top pouch soldiers carried on their load-bearing gear to keep a field dressing within reach. It is sized for one dressing or a compact item such as a compass, so essentials stay in a fixed spot you can find without looking. It is genuine government-issue kit, catalogued under NSN 8465-00-935-6814, and suits field users, reenactors and collectors.

Features

• Genuine US Army Issue — Originally procured for the US military rather than made for the commercial market.
• NSN 8465-00-935-6814 — The National Stock Number, the military's own catalogue code, identifies this exact item in the supply system.
• OD Green Finish — Olive drab green, the standard US military color, matches other issued web gear.
• Metal Snap Closure — A single press-stud on the flap opens with one tug and holds the lid shut while you move.
• Full-Coverage Flap — The rounded lid overlaps the pouch mouth to keep dirt and debris out of the contents.
• Bound Edges — Webbing tape is stitched over the seams and flap edge to stop the fabric from fraying.
• Compact Footprint — The small, upright body takes up little room on a belt or harness.
• Flexible Use — Holds a field dressing as issued, or a compass, small light or similar pocket item.

Original US Army Spec

The case is built from OD green synthetic fabric with taped edges, webbing side panels and a blackened metal snap, made to the Army's standard for individual equipment. Because it is issued kit and not a commercial look-alike, it belongs with period US load-carrying gear in a collection or an impression. In everyday use it is a tough, simple pouch for keeping one small item secure and easy to reach.
