Bone Tactical – Cholombia Combat Shirts
Monday, June 18th, 2018It’s called the Cholombia shirt because they are produced in Choloma Honduras, one of the most dangerous places on earth.
The Colombia Shirt is the creation of Bone Tactical. They’ve got quite a story behind the shirt, so I won’t steal their thunder, but rather encourage you to hit the link and read it for yourself.
The Hawaiian accents on the MultiCam have me intrigued. Sized from Small – XXLarge like military uniforms, there’s even a short sleeved version.
Detachment B-52 (Project Delta) Reconnaissance Tips Of The Trade
Monday, June 18th, 2018When I joined the Army in 1985, most of my senior NCO leadership had served in Vietnam. They were men who had seen combat and we hung on their every word as we trained.
In the late 80s, I served in a LRSD in Germany. We turned to photocopies of a document produced by the Vietnam-era Military Assistance Command Vietnam Studies and Observation Group’s Det B-52 aka Project Delta called ‘Reconnaissance Tips Of The Trade.’
We poured over its 32 pages which were gold to us, offering guidance on how to configure equipment and conduct ourselves on patrols. Some of the information was outdated due to equipment changes, other data was not applicable because we faced a different foe, on different terrain. However, the basics remained the same. Around the same time, 1st Bn, 7th SFG(A) released an update called ODB-720 Tips based on lessons learned in Panama. Unfortunately, it was much more difficult to share information pre-internet and I never saw a copy until I was on a 3rd Group SOT-A in the early-90s.
The original is available on the web from Chapter 31 of the Special Forces Association at www.sfa31.org/deltarecontips. Whether you’re reading from a historical perspective or a professional one, there are still a few gems in there.

Monday, June 18th, 2018This is smaller version of LBT’s Vented Comms Pack. Both were designed to combat radio overheating. It accepts PALS equipped pouches and offers four external, zippered pockets. The pack is also reinforced with HANK.
The pack is padded to protect the communications gear, but incorporates venting. For example, there is a mesh vent at the bottom which can be opened.

The interior is designed for the radio to be strapped into place but accessories can be mounted, by themselves, or in pouches to the pile field interior.
Above, you can see that the pack is PALS compatible and can be attached to a variety of platforms, including a modular frame. There are also removable shoulder straps and waist belt.
