Original U.S. Kwikpoint Warrior Smart Card, Version KP7-MIL-GEN17, 2010

Original U.S. military field-reference smart card produced by Kwikpoint in 2010. It is a laminated accordion-fold tactical reference card intended for soldiers in the field, combining checklists, visual procedures, combat reminders, detainee handling guidance, safety and health information, cultural awareness notes, escalation-of-force guidance, medevac instructions, IED indicators, and Arabic, Dari, and Pashto phrase sections. Kwikpoint’s current military catalog lists a Warrior Smart Card, and a separate military retailer describes the Kwikpoint Warrior Smart Card as a waterproof, tear-resistant soldier reference covering pre-battle preparation, combat tips, basic IED tactics, ambush reaction, vehicle and weapon safety, health, wound treatment, and cultural awareness.

Translation / Content:
The front cover reads: “Warrior Smart Card.” It includes the Soldier’s Creed lines: “I will always place the mission first. I will never accept defeat. I will never quit. I will never leave a fallen comrade.”

The reverse panel shown is a “9-Line Medevac Request,” listing the standard evacuation information fields: pickup-site grid location, radio frequency and call sign, number of patients by precedence, special equipment required, number of patients by type, security of pickup site, method of marking pickup site, patient nationality and status, and NBC contamination or terrain description. Interior panels include troop-leading procedures, convoy checklists, pre-battle checklist, IED indicators and tactics, ambush response, detainee operations at point of capture, escalation of force, tactical field care, cultural dos and don’ts, safety and health reminders, weapons clearing, weapons safety, Arabic hot card, Dari hot card, and Pashto hot card sections.

Imagery: The card uses a dark tactical design with camouflage-toned borders, metallic panel effects, and a central image of a U.S. soldier on the cover. Interior panels combine dense text, checklists, pictorial icons, safety diagrams, detainee-handling illustrations, medical care diagrams, IED recognition graphics, vehicle and convoy illustrations, weapons safety graphics, and multilingual phrase tables. The design is compact and instructional, meant for quick reference during field operations.

Objective: To provide U.S. soldiers with a portable field guide for tactical decision-making, battlefield safety, detainee handling, medical response, IED awareness, ambush reaction, weapons safety, convoy procedures, cultural awareness, and basic language communication. Unlike propaganda leaflets intended for enemy or civilian audiences, this smart card is an internal military reference tool for training and operational use.

Condition: Very good condition. Complete laminated accordion-fold smart card with intact panels, clear printing, legible text, and strong color retention. Minor surface wear and light handling marks are visible, but the card remains structurally sound, clean, and fully readable.
