MDFI – Training Passport

Monday, April 25th, 2016

Michigan Defensive Force Institute has developed a Training Passport to keep track of attendance at their entire course catalog.

The spiral bound logbook features hard plastic covers that will protect the waterproof pages. That’s right, the pages are printed on Rite-in-the-Rain paper. You can write on it but it won’t turn to mush if it gets wet.

As you can see, the pages are well laid out and include plenty of room for notes.

They’ve even included blank pages for attendance at courses presented by other instructors.

TYR Tactical Innovate or Die Tour & Mobile Showroom

Monday, April 25th, 2016

Each product that is designed here at TYR Tactical® is developed with the mantra, Innovate or Die™, and you in mind. Our passion for your safety has enhanced our design and manufacturing philosophy by creating streamline products that are more ergonomic and dynamic, as well as, significantly lighter. Our products are developed with direct input from some of the most elite warriors in the world. Direct feedback from operators about mission specific load requirements and mobility allow TYR Tactical® to increase overall comfort, movement and performance. Special Operations training and a physiological approach are incorporated into each design. Our rigorous testing process allows us to continually evolve and provide products for today’s needs and threats keeping us in the forefront of the industry.

We understand that to create Mission-Adaptable Gear, one has to spend a tremendous amount of time and resources on R&D – making sure that the feel, comfort and ergonomics of our products are right for our customers. To better serve this mission we have created the TYR Tactical® Mobile Showroom. This completely custom 44’ trailer was designed to travel across the country so we can better show our complete breadth of products. For the first time customers will have a hands-on experiences with TYR Tactical® Pouches, Body Armor, Belts, Revere K9™ Products and Huron™ Clothing & Packs. They will also get a chance to view products before their release and provide feedback on existing products.

We have dedicated approximately 16 weeks in 2016 to travelling from base to base, department to department to be able to allow customers to have our showroom come to them. The first two weeks of the schedule are listed below.

To coordinate the tour to come to your police department or base in the future please contact either info@tyrtactical.com or contact your local ADS Representative at OCIEsolutions@adsinc.com

101 Years of Honoring the ANZAC

Monday, April 25th, 2016

Having served with units from both Australia and New Zealand during my military service, they often come to mind, and on ANZAC Day, in particular. You see, every April 25th some of our closest allies; Australia and New Zealand, commemorate the service and sacrifice of their military. The day begins with a dawn service and there are several other events throughout the day including parades.

It’s bigger than Veteran’s Day is here, with more participation. It’s what Veteran’s Day was probably like after the War to End All Wars and ANZAC does have its roots in the memory of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops who served the empire in World War One.

While April 25th might seem an odd date, it is actually the anniversary of the first major battle fought by ANZAC forces; the battle of Gallipoli in what is now Turkey.

Please join us in honoring not only their fallen, but also the fact that they are on our team. 101 years ago or today, they’ve been on the side of right.

Honoring Those With The Guts To Try

Sunday, April 24th, 2016

Today, We Remember The Men We Lost During Operation Eagle Claw

Today marks the anniversary of Operation Eagle Claw. In the early morning hours of 25 April, 1980 President Carter announced to a stunned world that the United States had undertaken an ambitious raid into Iran to liberate 52 American hostages held illegally by tye Iranian Republican Guard, at our Embassy in Tehran. Unfortunately, Operation Eagle Claw was unsuccessful, and we lost eight American servicemen in a horrible aircraft ground collision.

However, their sacrifice was not in vain. The hostages were eventually returned and the accident was the watershed event that created, over the next several decades, the world’s preeminent Special Operations capability; USSOCOM and its components. Some hard Americans were on that raid; legends to those who would follow. We wouldn’t be where are today with the determination of that fledgling task force. Join me in remembering those that paved the way.
