Phokus Research Group has recently announced that they’ve received a patent on their Low Profile Medical Kit. The full release can be read below:

1.14.2015: For Immediate Release

Phokus Research Group receives Patent for Low Profile Medical Kit

Patent covers a system configured to fit behind ballistic plates of a protective vest.

San Diego, CA, January 14, 2015 – The United States Patent and Trademark Office issues Patent No. 8,925,115 to Phokus Research Group for their Low Profile Medical Kit.

Battle tested in Iraq and Afghanistan, the Phokus Trauma Kit’s lightweight packaging allows for quick deployment in the field. The innovative pressure sealed, flat design allows operators to comfortably wear medical gear that is concealable and instantly accessible, eliminating the need for bulky external medical pouches.

Designed as a system to fit behind the ballistic plates of a protective vest, the kit is protected from shrapnel and tearing, is easily locatable and removable and does not effect the user’s freedom of movement. When the kit is removed from its protected location, it presents the medical trauma supplies in a logical and easily viewable manner.

Phokus Trauma Kits feature high quality, combat proven components that follow all Tactical Combat Casualty Care (TCCC) Guidelines. The contents are packed for priority of care and are sealed within heavy-duty medical grade vinyl that provides weatherproof protection of critical medical supplies. Radio Frequency (RF) welded seams provide superior loss protection of valuable equipment. Available in four sizes, Phokus Trauma Kits are designed to suit every Operator’s needs.

“Being able to provide life saving medical gear that can be wore by an operator has always been our goal and we continue to innovate products for this life saving system.” said Steve Friedlander, VP Sales and Marketing of Phokus Research Group.

Interesting Use of the Princeton Tec Switch Rail Light

Monday, February 2nd, 2015

Former SEAL Mark Owen recently posted this photo of a Princeton Tec Switch Rail weapon light mounted to a pistol. The original concept by Sentinel Design and Austere Provisions Company was to provide low level light on a rifle rail. Sort of a navigation light.

Owen is using it on his pistol, which certainly offers a low volume light and might be just what you are looking for, depending on your application.

SPECIFICATIONS
POWER – 10 Lumens
BURN TIME – 36 Hours
BATTERIES – 2x 2016
WEIGHT – 22 Grams

“Aids to Scouting, for N.-C.O.s & Men” : The Book That Inspired A Movement

Monday, February 2nd, 2015

Authored by Lieutenant General Sir Robert Baden-Powell (pronounced “Poe-well”), “Aids to Scouting, for N.-C.O.s & Men” was one of many pamphlets he wrote based in his experience as an officer in His Majesty’s Army abroad.

(null)

Intended as a training guide for use by other professional Soldiers, the book was adopted by boys across England who began to practice the skills contained therein. Eventually, BP as he was known, retired from his post as a General and founded the Scouting movement, adapting his earlier works for his new youth movement.

Fieldcraft is the foundation of a successful Soldier. A modified version of this skill set, called appropriately enough, “Scoutcraft” is also what Scouting is all about. While some tasks don’t translate directly from one to the other, there is enough overlap that this book inspired the Scouting movement over a century ago.
