US Army Issues Implementation Details For OCP Transition

Monday, June 1st, 2015

Today, the Army officially announced that OCP uniforms would be available in US Army clothing sale stores 1 July, 2015. They also released these slides which detail how the uniforms are to be worn. The information is in line with the draft ALARACT we recently spoke about except they’ve relented on headgear for the OCP variants which can now be worn with the MultiCam or Scorpion versions. You really need to go back and read the draft ALARACT story if you want to get in the weeds on this.

These slides are from the SMA’s OCP transition pocket guide.

Elite Survival Systems – STEALTH Covert Operations Backpack

Monday, June 1st, 2015

The STEALTH Covert Operations Backpack by Elite Survival Systems is designed to carry a 16″ M4 with additional gear without the standard “industry” indicators.

On the outside, the STEALTH Pack looks like a standard sports pack. The inside, however, is constructed of MilSpec 500D nylon, with two main compartments for a broken-down AR-15 pattern weapon and accessories. The rifle compartment is lined with loop Velcro and is fitted with dual adjustable, removable stabilizers to carry an upper and lower receiver side-by-side. The rifle compartment also features a separate handgun or eyewear pocket, spacious enough to fit a full-sized pistol. The accessory compartment features a MOLLE field with loop Velcro, allowing the user the choice of PALS-compatible and hook-backed pouches.

Additional features include a padded front admin compartment with organization pockets, removable waist straps, compression straps, s-shaped backpack straps, and vented, lumbar support padding.
