High Performance in a Low Profile Package The Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack is the antithesis of the bulky, cumbersome rucksack. Designed for agility and speed, this compact pack strips away the excess bulk to provide a streamlined carrying solution for military operations, law enforcement patrols, or civilian everyday carry (EDC).

Measuring just 3 inches deep, it stays tight to the body, preventing snagging in tight environments like doorways, vehicles, or dense brush. Despite its slim footprint, it offers robust organization and the ability to expand via a full MOLLE Webbing System.

Key Features

  • Ultra-Compact Profile: With dimensions of 17" x 11.5" x 3", this bag is designed for short missions, keeping your loadout light and your silhouette streamlined.
  • MOLLE System Integration: The exterior is covered in modular MOLLE loops, allowing you to attach medical pouches, magazine holders, or utility pockets to expand capacity only when needed.
  • Rugged Durability: Constructed from high-strength tactical materials designed to withstand abrasion, tearing, and the rigors of field use.
  • Multi-Mission Versatility: An excellent choice for a dedicated First Aid Kit, a hydration carrier, a fishing tackle bag, or a laptop/tablet carrier for the urban commuter.
  • Tactical Aesthetics: The sleek Black design offers a professional look that fits in with a SWAT team uniform or a business casual environment without drawing unwanted attention.

Why It Matters Not every mission requires 72 hours of gear. Sometimes you just need the essentials—water, comms, ammo, or a laptop—without being weighed down. This pack is built for the "Scout" mindset: move fast, stay light, and keep your essential gear secure. It is the perfect "Get Home Bag" to keep in a vehicle or under a desk.

How to Use & Loadout

  1. EDC (Everyday Carry): The slim profile fits a 13-15" laptop or tablet, chargers, and a notebook perfectly.
  2. Day Hikes: Pack a rain shell, snacks, and water. Attach a water bottle pouch to the side MOLLE webbing.
  3. Range Day: Use it to carry pistol cases, ear protection, and eyes, keeping your hands free.
  4. Vehicle Kit: Because it is only 3 inches thick, it slides easily under truck seats or behind bench seats as a stored emergency kit.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack ideal for first responders compared to standard daypacks?

The Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack (SKU 10-132-BLK) is purpose-built with MOLLE system integration throughout, allowing EMS and law enforcement professionals to attach medical pouches, radio holsters, and mission-critical gear externally. Unlike civilian daypacks, its military-grade construction withstands rugged field use while maintaining a compact 17x11.5x3 profile that won't interfere with vehicle operations or tight spaces. At just 2 lbs, it's lightweight enough for extended wear during urban patrols or emergency response without sacrificing the durability demanded by tactical operations.

Can the Kemp USA Small Assault Backpack fit in a patrol vehicle or ambulance jump seat area?

Absolutely. With dimensions of 17x11.5x3 inches and weighing only 2 lbs, this tactical backpack is specifically designed for mobility in confined spaces. Its low-profile, compact design makes it perfect for storing in patrol car trunks, ambulance compartments, or behind jump seats without taking up valuable equipment space. The sleek black tactical appearance remains professional and discreet, making it ideal for both on-duty carry and quick-grab emergency response scenarios.

How does the MOLLE system on this Kemp USA backpack expand my gear-carrying capacity?

The modular MOLLE (Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment) loops integrated throughout the Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack allow you to customize your loadout by attaching external pouches, holsters, and accessories. This means you can add trauma kits, flashlight holders, hydration bladders, or utility pouches based on your specific mission requirements—whether you're in law enforcement, EMS, hunting, or survival prepping. The MOLLE system transforms this compact 17x11.5x3 pack into a scalable platform that adapts to changing operational needs.

Is the Kemp USA Small Assault Backpack suitable for both tactical duty and civilian outdoor use?

Yes—this is a true multi-mission pack. While built to military specifications for tactical operations and law enforcement duty, the Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack excels equally as a bug-out bag, camping daypack, hunting pack, or everyday carry solution. Its durable construction handles rugged trail use, fishing trips, and backcountry adventures, while the professional black design transitions seamlessly from duty gear to civilian preparedness. Whether you're a service member, first responder, or preparedness-minded civilian, this versatile pack adapts to your environment.

What can I realistically fit inside the Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack for a 24-hour mission?

With its compact 17x11.5x3 dimensions, the Kemp USA Small Assault Tactical Backpack is optimized for short missions and everyday essentials. You can comfortably pack a trauma kit, hydration system, extra uniform or clothing layer, MREs or trail food, communication devices, navigation tools, and personal items for a 24-hour deployment. The lightweight 2 lb construction means your gear weight stays manageable, while the MOLLE webbing lets you attach additional pouches externally for mission-specific equipment without overloading the main compartment.
