TWO-PERSON DRAG/CARRY
KIT OR ARM DRAG
NOTE: Some body armor is equipped with a drag handle. The equipment must be fully strapped and secured onto the
casualty.

NOTE: While the Kit or Arm Drag may be a means to drag a casualty short distances to cover or safety, it is not efficient
for longer distances and increases chances of causing further harm to the casualty.

NOTE: This allows the rescuers to maintain a “weapons up” posture while executing the drag.

01 ALIGN yourselves alongside the casualty.

02 Each of you GRAB the casualty by their equipment (e.g.,


drag handle, strap) or their arms.

03 DRAG the casualty behind you going forward as quickly


as possible in short bursts of movement.

NOTE: Injury can occur to either rescuer or casualty during training drills; keep safety in mind.

TWO-PERSON DRAG/CARRY
SUPPORTING CARRY
NOTE: The two-man supporting carry can be used in
transporting both conscious and unconscious casualties.

01 If conscious, MOVE casualty to their feet


and support them with your arms around
their waist.
OR

If unconscious, both KNEEL next to the


casualty and RAISE them to a seated
position facing in the same direction as you.

02 GRASP the casualty’s wrists and draw one


of his arms around each of your necks. (The
casualty should use their arms to hold onto
you, if able).

03 Place other arm around the casualty’s waist


and GRAB the casualty’s web belt, if worn, or
their clothing/equipment, if possible.

NOTE: If unconscious or if the casualty is taller than


the bearers, the bearers can remove their arms from
the casualty’s waist and place them behind/under the
casualty’s thighs for support; this keeps the feet from
dragging.

04 LIFT AND SUPPORT the casualty while


moving forward.
