Sheriff of Baghdad Combat Bands Now Available Exclusively from MRE

Sunday, June 24th, 2012

For years guys have been using retaining bands (rubber bands) for a variety of chores but they’re an air item, designed to break under load. The folks at MRE had customers asking for the issue item but they aren’t really for what most guys use them for such as attaching kit, taking the rattle out of magazines and other gear, and securing items to your weapon’s stock.

It really doesn’t make sense to secure your equipment with something that’s meant to break. So MRE worked to develop an improved combat band. I’ve had a few for awhile now and used them for several application. They don’t stretch as much as a traditional rubber band but they are one hell of a lot beefier.

Constructed of an IR signature reducing formulated silicone, SOB Combat Bands are available in Black, Coyote, Foliage Green and Tan in packs of 3, 5 or 10.

Additionally, Mission Ready Equipment is offering FREE Shipping on ALL orders of $75 or more.

This is the fifth instructional video from Paul Howe in the ‘Make Ready’ series. ‘Tactical Drills’ is a concise video featuring the benchmark range drills taught by Paul Howe. Paul is a high-risk training instructor that served 20 years in the US Army, ten of those in Special Operations, including service in battle of Mogadishu that was later portrayed in the motion picture ‘Black Hawk Down.’

Paul takes you step-by-step through drills like the plate rack from a vehicle drill, engaging multiple targets from cover, interior movement drills, line drill, immediate threat drills, forward movement drills, dealing with wounds, 100-7 drill, battlefield weapon recovery, and the granddaddy of all drills – the 500 yard Scrambler.

Panteao is accepting pre-orders for the DVD and expects it to be released in July.
