I am one of the pioneer to hands on the new medics bag back in 2009 when it first came out. they ask us to give feedback after we try all these stuff.
Until today none of our feedback is being seen.
still remember during the first ex with the new load, 2 of my medics suffer heat exhaustion while carrying those load on a hot day.
btw not my medic weak, we went thru Brunei with stretcher + fbo + mop.
climb up the mount biang + 7 norll + river crossing etc
tat time I still have a toughbook in my medics bag. (only company medic and bcs carry the toughbook) its is to replace the 1029D casualty card, and can sent information to bcs, carry the extra load nvm already when i want to use it, battery bo liao!!! meaning i carrying a brick in my bag now.
during reservist, most of the time the rifle man and sect com just lbv helm go out walk 8-10km but medics still carry medic bag + stretcher...no different from FBO.
