Hyperstealth Biotechnology Corp displayed their new USMC OPFOR (Opposing Force) camouflage in the ADS Inc booth during last week’s Special Operations Forces Industry Conference.
This is not the cut of uniform adopted by the Marines for use by their OPFOR. Instead, their uniforms use this camouflaged fabric but are in the MCCUU cut. Below is a close up of the pattern.

It’s been years since we last mentioned Kayrank, a small Veteran owned business which offers their Helmet Rank System.
It consists of polymer plates, sized to fit a helmet NVG mount, which are engraved with military rank insignia. This subdued device can be worn placed in the mount during the day and removed and stored when NODs are worn.
When we first mentioned the Kayrank Helmet Rank System, readers had some interesting comments. They couldn’t fathom displaying rank on the helmet even though we did it for decades.
However, despite numerous negative comments here on SSD, they’ve managed to stay in business, and thrive. In fact, they recently updated their website.
Kayrank offers plates for US Army enlisted and officer ranks, SPC through BG (minus SGM). They’ve also introduced warrant officer ranks.
