In our quietest corners, we often assume safety is a given, but the first few minutes of a crisis are the most defining. When the unthinkable occurs in the places where we work and serve, the person standing on the front lines—the public servant, the local business owner, or the office colleague—becomes the first line of defense.

At CTOMS, we believe that the first responder is the person standing next to the casualty.

The Prepared Citizen Responder program is built on the belief that community is defined by those who accept personal responsibility for the safety of those around them. We empower citizens to defend their peers with life-saving skills, because minutes matter when help is only seconds away.
The Prepared Citizen Responder Bundle provides a higher standard of care than basic first aid, using techniques proven in combat over the last two decades to handle major trauma from vehicle accidents, active shooter incidents, and mass casualty events. Participants learn to approach and assess casualties while using cover and concealment, prioritize treatments, and perform life-saving actions—such as controlling major bleeding, maintaining airways, and managing trauma-induced hypothermia—based on interventions that have significantly increased survival rates in high-threat environments.

Whether you are in a government facility, a private business, or a corporate workspace, you must be ready to be the calm in the storm. We provide the tools to leave nothing to chance and control the chaos so you can stand for those around you.

Access to the courses is granted for three years from the start date via the CTOMS Academy. To support our community’s readiness, use code CTOMS30000 for 30% off all online courses and bundles for the next 29 days.

CTOMS IN THE WILD

using our M2/G2 MGTD Harness and Gen 2 X-Belt practicing assault climbing! Still going strong!!

Our Gen III MGTD harness achieves a 19% weight reduction over the Gen II through the use of specialized lightweight webbing and customized, flush-mount AustriAlpin buckles. These hardware upgrades significantly cut physical mass and bulk, reducing snag hazards in tight spaces like vehicles or aircraft. By replacing the older padding with a streamlined, laser-cut MOLLE system, the Gen III provides a more agile, high-performance platform without compromising critical life-safety ratings.

The 19% weight reduction in the Gen III MGTD system effectively offsets the weight of one fully loaded 30-round AR magazine or two fully loaded pistol magazines. This new generation allows the assault climber to increase their combat load without additional weight. That’s significant additional firepower for a team on the objective.

CTOMS strongly recommends using the MGTD™ sizing guide to ensure proper fit and performance for their integrated tactical belt and harness systems. MGTD stands for “Mission Gear Tactical Duty,” emphasizing safety, flexibility, rapid deployment, quick donning/doffing, seamless MOLLE integration, and compatibility with duty gear in demanding environments for tasks like rigging and gear carriage. MGTD™ is now in its third generation, with each iteration incorporating real-world field feedback and cutting edge materials.

The guide ensures optimal fit and performance for products like the M3 Belt/Harness, Rigger’s Belt, and X-Belt PS Gen III, with detailed measuring and sizing instructions for duty platforms, inner belts, or chassis to deliver stability and comfort.

Find the free downloadable PDF on most MGTD™ product pages (bottom or under Documentation). Check our bio’s Linktree for the full MGTD line. For additional assistance, contact equipment@ctomsinc.com.

QuikClot has evolved dramatically. Older zeolite versions absorbed water from blood to concentrate clotting factors but generated extreme heat (up to 95°C), risking burns and tissue damage. Modern QuikClot uses natural inert kaolin clay in gauze, activating Factor XII (Hageman factor) to initiate the intrinsic clotting pathway: XIIa triggers XI, then IX and VIII, converging with the extrinsic pathway for thrombin generation and stable fibrin clot formation—with zero heat for better safety. This speeds up blood clotting up to 5 times faster than standard gauze. Combat Gauze is faster and more effective, achieving 79-89% hemostasis in 5-10 minutes and reducing blood loss (e.g., 30 mL vs. 404 mL in hypothermic models). CoTCCC-approved as the top hemostatic dressing, it’s used by Canadian Armed Forces, NATO, U.S. DoD, and other militaries for trauma care. Certified by FDA, CE, ISO; Class II device in Canada. CTOMS is a Health Canada licensed distributor of this product.

Leave Nothing to Chance: X-Belt PS Gen III – Mission Essential Load-Bearing

CTOMS Inc. announces the X-Belt PS Gen III, the latest evolution in our proven X-Belt Padding System. Built for military, law enforcement, and operational professionals, it delivers enhanced comfort, durability, and utility—control the chaos when it matters most.

This full-duty battle belt features four rows of laser-cut MOLLE on the back and three on the sides/front, providing versatile mounting for pouches, holsters, med kits, and gear. The low-profile build cuts bulk without sacrificing load capacity, perfect for long-haul missions.

The hook-and-loop adjustable padding molds to your body for a secure, adaptive fit—accommodating layers, seasonal gear, or varying waist sizes. Available in Black and Coyote; Large/X-Large options with adjustable sides. Reference the MGTD Systems Size Guide for your fit.

Seamless compatibility makes it mission essential: Pair as an outer belt with the M3 Inner Belt or M3 Riggers Belt for rock-solid stability. Add Gen III Suspenders for even weight distribution, or integrate with the M3 Chassis and Harness Assembly. Transition to vertical ops—rappelling, climbing—without ditching the belt, buying precious seconds in the field.

Rugged materials stand up to extreme conditions, making the X-Belt PS Gen III battle-tested gear you can rely on.

Visit ctomsinc.com for the X-Belt PS Gen III and supporting accessories. In high-stakes ops, equip for success—leave nothing to chance.

38 Canadian Brigade Group has an Arctic Response Company Group (ARCG). They practice tactics and survival under the harshest winter conditions, with temperatures during their final exercise dropping to −40°C. Extreme Cold Weather Warfare is outlasting the environment and the enemy.

TCCC and PFC in such environments are especially difficult, as the cold climate is an equal enemy alongside potential invaders. Casualties who are subject to hypothermia due to trauma pathophysiology are more susceptible to environmental factors. Care under Fire will be exacerbated by thick insulating layers. Tactical Field Care will require heated tentage to allow an exposed full-body inspection and treatment to avoid insidious hypothermia effects and ‘cold-acidosis’. Due to weather-related delays, Tactical Ecauvation Care will be replaced with Prolonged Field Care - hypothermia care, blood/fluid resuscitation, urinary catheterization to protect kidney function, Enteral nutrition and anesthesia/pain management with ventilation support.

Protecting Arctic Sovereignty has its own tactical medical complications. We know this is a consideration in their training.

38 Canadian Brigade Group (38 CBG) is an Army Reserve Formation of 3rd Canadian Division, headquartered in Winnipeg, Manitoba.

STORACELL SLIMLINE BATTERY CADDIE

The Storacell battery caddy is a vital tactical tool for organizing power sources, currently available at CTOMS in sizes for AA, AAA, CR123/CR123A, C, and D cells. The Military Green version is purpose-built to blend with mission-critical gear, featuring a patented locking system for secure, one-handed dispensing. This rigid design prevents short-circuiting and eliminates the noise of loose batteries in a pack or vest. By reversing used cells in the caddy, operators can maintain tactile inventory management in total darkness, ensuring optics, communications, and night vision stay powered during field operations.

‘The Lethal Diamond’ is a critical concept used to describe a destructive cycle of four interrelated physiological disturbances—coagulopathy, acidosis, hypothermia, and hypocalcemia—that can occur in patients suffering from severe trauma. These conditions mutually exacerbate each other, significantly increasing the likelihood of mortality. Originally referred to as the “lethal triad”—comprising coagulopathy, acidosis, and hypothermia—the concept was later expanded to include hypocalcemia. This addition is crucial because hypocalcemia impairs clotting mechanisms, intensifies bleeding risks, and is often worsened by blood transfusions, which can dilute calcium levels. The progression of these abnormalities can lead to a vicious cycle, complicating resuscitation efforts and requiring prompt, targeted interventions to interrupt this lethal cascade.
