Abstract: A tactical extrication and rescue assembly comprises a base member having at least one mounting element for securing said base member to an article of clothing or gear; and a rescue strap releasably secured to and storable within the base member, the rescue strap including left and right end portions each including a graspable handle member, an end strap segment with a couple member, and a deployment and attachment mechanism that allows the graspable handle member and the end segment to be attached and deployed adjacent to one another when the rescue strap is deployed from the tactical extrication and rescue assembly, enabling the couple members to be adjacent to the rescuer's hands for quicker and easier coupling of the coupling members so that a secure connection to a rescuee is formed for extrication and rescue.

Abstract: A tactical extrication and rescue assembly includes a base member including opposite longitudinal ends, the base member comprising at least one mounting element for securing the base member to an article of clothing or gear; a quick de-coupling mechanism; a rescue strap releasably secured to the base member via the quick de-coupling mechanism at one of the opposite longitudinal ends of the base, the first and second end portions including respective first and second connection members. The quick de-coupling mechanism at the longitudinal end base ensures that the quick de-coupling mechanism falls out of the side of the base during use so that a rescuer can easily and readily locate and operate the quick de-coupling mechanism in an emergency, allowing the rescuer to quickly de-couple the rescue strap from the base and, thereby, the rescuer.
