Military Kits - The above kit was supplied to the Military Police as early as the end of WW2, but no further details are available, from the contents given it appears that either one std. A canvas bag (as mentioned above) was probably required, e.g. item #9708500, but there is no evidence of this - it could also have been a later version ie. Item no. 9708505 (with buttons instead of laces).
Although not yet listed in the 1 March 1944 Catalog of Medical Supplies, the pouch is listed in the 1 July 1947 Army and Navy Medical Supplies Catalog (Kits, Kits, Equipment) and in the Forces Medical Supplies Catalog of 1 July 1949 Its official designation then reads as follows: Case, medical field kit, M-2, art. #9-130-025 (with string) or #9-130-150 (without string).

The contents of the kit have undergone the same minor changes as the other first aid kits, as can be seen from the list above. The number of ampoules was reduced to only 3. The burn kits and eye bandages were improved versions. The white bandages and bandages have been replaced by the less conspicuous Field Brown. The emergency medical tag could have been either an earlier type labeled Form 52b or a later type labeled Form 8-26.4 / 5 Show Title + Hide Title - US Sgt. 1st Class E. L.

Kit List #8
ABERDEEN PROVING GROUND, Md. – The company is implementing state-of-the-art standardized media kits for its tactical public relations and visuals staff to improve capabilities, save money and reduce logistical issues.
Soldiers from the 55th Signal Company (Combat Camera) at Fort Meade, MD, received 13 tactical digital media kits in July, marking them as the first unit equipped with the new package.
"This kit will allow us to exceed customer expectations and set a new standard in our career field," said Sgt. Pedro Garcia Bibian, 3rd Platoon Sergeant, who has worked on the TDM project since testing began in October 2017 at the Aberdeen Proving Ground.
“I used this device in extremely cold weather in Alaska and the system exceeded my expectations; the build quality has improved dramatically compared to our old kits,” he said. "It gives us the ability to stay on top of [visual information] and allows us to get our message out to the public much faster."

TDM kits will enable military public relations and visual intelligence to collect, process, and deliver digital audio, video, and video files using kits consisting of digital multimedia cameras, video editing equipment, laptops, lighting, night vision equipment, and audio equipment. TDM notebooks are authorized to work in unclassified and classified computer networks. This step will be an important milestone for these professional fields, as the connection of photo and video devices to networks is currently prohibited for security reasons.
Kyle Perkins managed the acquisition, procurement, testing and deployment of TDM kits for Project Manager Mission Command.
"The most rewarding aspect of managing this program has been working directly with the Soldiers who will be operating the equipment and developing the system to meet their needs," Perkins said.
To improve soldiers' ability to transmit photos and video files from remote locations, the TDM kits are compatible with a lightweight version of the Tactical Command inflatable transport communication system. T2C2 Lite provides satellite connectivity so TDM users can send their data over the tactical network from remote locations without the need for static network infrastructure. It can be used in disaster relief, deployment and live broadcasts.

“The new equipment adds the ability to record 4K video to create higher quality products, as our current setup is limited to 1080p video format,” he said. "The Wi-Fi option allows the user to easily transfer still images to a digital device that can be used for editing on the go. Controlling the camera with a hand-held device adds capabilities that the old kit didn't allow without an expensive accessory." It also helps to control the device remotely, allowing you to record dangerous documentation”.
Establishing TDM as a program of record would allow equipment to be purchased in bulk at below-wholesale prices while also taking a lot of the logistical burden off the divisions, Perkins said.
• Kits will be standard issue for units through centralized procurement funding to eliminate the need to buy equipment out of pocket, which was often expensive and time consuming.
• Because equipment is now standardized, training becomes easier, readiness increases and equipment maintenance is easier.

• Specialized equipment tailored to the unit's mission is now allowed. In addition, all kit components have national stock numbers, allowing orders to be placed through a standard delivery system, saving time and money.
"This program has delivered a right-sized capability package that is fully supported through an organic sustainment system, allowing Soldiers to focus on the mission first," Perkins said.
The U.S. Program Executive Directorate's Office of Tactical Command, Control, and Communications develops, acquires, deploys, and maintains the U.S. Mission Command network to ensure force readiness. This critical upgrade priority provides tactical communications so commanders and Soldiers can always be connected and informed, even in the harshest and most hostile environments. PEO C3T delivers the network to regions around the world, providing high-speed, broadband voice, data, and video communications to a user base that includes joint, coalition, and other mission partners.
