Advanced Combat Uniform for Medics

Abstract

An advanced combat clothing system for military medics and medical professionals actively involved in the field of combat while providing acute emergency care for wounded soldiers. The Advanced Combat Uniform for Medics also referred to as the ACUM consists of a pair of trousers, a long sleeve shirt and a unique pocket receptacle invention which stabilizes the content within the pockets. The ACUM was invented to replace the use of roll-up bags and back packs used to carry the tools and supplies of the military medics during combat zone engagements. The ACUM invention was strategically designed to disburse the weight of the medical gear over the entire body, therefore, decreasing the entire weight load from exerting pressure over the lumbar and thoracic spinal locations. Additionally, by disbursing the pay-load or weight over the entire body, the military medic will be able to maneuver and combat with more accuracy and precision. The ACUM invention has a unique pull cord system in which the military medic can access lifesaving medicines and triage supplies at the pull of a cord. The ACUM can be made using any fabric including the digital camouflage material used and preferred by military personnel. The ACUM can hold over 100 required medical items while providing extremely fast easy access to the medical supplies carried by the military medics. The ACUM invention was designed to systematically place all of the medical supplies carried by the military medic in strategic areas around the wearer's body. The ACUM can be made to fit any size, male or female. This combat uniform can be produced relatively quick and easy using a line production clothing protocol. Lumbar and spinal injury affects a large population of military personnel at one time or another, by disbursing the weight or load of the military medics gear; this will significantly reduce the risk of developing lumbar spinal disease in general.

1 . A newly designed combat uniform for military medical officers which will allow them to store and carry all of their required military issued medical supplies within strategic pockets within their uniforms, therefore, providing quick and rapid access to the medical supplies. 
     
     
         2 . An advanced combat clothing concept including a shirt and trousers designed to carry specific designated supplies used by military medical officers, therefore, replacing the need for large back-packs and roll bags used for storing can carrying medical supplies during combat procedures. 
     
     
         3 . A combat uniform for military medics which can decrease fatigue, back injury, and chronic pain symptoms by means of dispersing the weight of the military supplies evenly over the wearer's body. 
     
     
         4 . A combat uniform design with a pull cord and pull string concept for accessing stored supplies located behind the back of the wearer's uniform. 
     
     
         5 . A combat uniform design in which a removable sleeve pocket receptacle device is used to stabilize stored items in the pocket from moving during combat or military drills.
 The method claimed in claim one refers to how the uniform pockets are designed and their location of the combat uniform itself. The trousers and the shirt combined can carry over one hundred required items as claimed herein.   The method claimed in claim two is the ACUM replaces the need for carrying large back-packs and roll-up bags used by military medical officers today.   The method claimed in claim three has to do with weigh distribution and location. By selectively placing the weight cargo around strategic areas of the body, this will decrease the risk of injury and chronic pain associated with poor lifting and carrying techniques.   The method claimed in claim four has to do with how a particular item carried behind the back of an individual body can be retrieve by using a pull cord and pull string technique.   The method claimed in claim five refers to how a simple membrane and a receptacle can be used together to stabilize any item which can fit into a given pocket.
