This is an excellent, concise article by LTC Eugene Wallace of PM SCIE at PEO SOldier regarding the Camouflage Improvement Effort. It was published last October in Army AL&T Magazine. At the time of the writing they expected to record about 100,000 data points but as I understand it they overshot this a bit and are upwards of 120,000. That’s a lot of numbers to crunch and a lot of data to interpret.

The FirstSpear Tactical Patrolling Harness features FirstSpear technology as well as a Tubes front opening.
The design is reminiscent of other MOLLE-style patrolling harnesses with integrated belts, a design that is an extraction of Israeli Ephod-style harnesses that were later adapted to a maritime role in the late 80s here in the US. Overtime they have transitioned from fixed pouches, to ALICE compatibility and finally to PALS. This harness is the next step. It’s made from entirely new materials and not only accepts FirstSpear’s 6/12 family of pouches but also their 6/9 as well as any MOLLE compatible pouch meaning it is a great way to upgrade your harness without having to purchase an entirely new suite of pouches. Additionally, the front opening relies on the Tubes buckle which is easily manipulated with one hand.
The Tactical Patrolling Harness incorporates padded shoulder straps, a drag handle and metal adjustment buckles at the rear. Available in Small/Medium and Large/Extra Large in Black, Coyote, MultiCam and Ranger Green.
ATS Tactical Gear decided to do a short run of a less conspicuous version of their Cobra 2.5 packs. These are a Ranger Green and Black combo in 500D. Same dimensions and same price as the existing 2.5’s: $152.00. They should be on the web site within a couple days.
For $34.99 you get FirstSpear double M4 Mag Pouch from Elite Defense and you’ll also receive a FREE TangoDown Black 30 round magazine.
