Abstract: A casualty extraction strap for use in a tactical environment that is a durable, lightweight, adjustable, compact strap that allows the operator to effectively and rapidly extract a non-ambulatory casualty from a high-threat situation. Once the extraction strap is connected to an extraction loop sewn onto the neck of a flack jacket. The casualty's upper body is lifted off the ground, and his weight is centered between the legs of the operator, reducing drag and allowing maximum lifting capacity from the back, legs and hips of the rescuer. The operator maintains proper posture and the “hands free” design allows the operator to back away from the threat while maintaining engagement with the enemy.
