No, The US Military Is NOT Adopting A Common Utility Uniform
Saturday, August 25th, 2018This is what is referred to as, “Fake News.”
The Virginia Pilot is the local paper for the Hampton Roads region, an area which boasts more than a dozen military facilities, representing every US service. This was their headline Thursday. The problem is, it’s not true.
While the USAF is in the process of replacing the Airman Battle Uniform in the Digital Tigerstripe Pattern with the Army Combat Uniform in the Operational Camouflage Pattern, the USMC remains in their unique utility Uniform in both desert and woodland patterns. Additionally, the Navy has adopted a Woodland camouflage pattern for its Navy Working Uniform which shares a geometry with the Marine pattern, but unique colors. As you can imagine, the NWU features different cut than the Army/Air Force as well as Marine utility uniforms.

Black Rifle Coffee Company Opens Tennessee Roasting Facility
Friday, August 24th, 2018For Immediate Release – SAN ANTONIO – Veteran-owned and operated Black Rifle Coffee Company is proud to announce the opening of its Manchester, Tennessee, roasting facility as part of the company’s $6 million investment in that state. Combined with their Utah facility, the Tennessee plant will ensure that consumers all over America receive the freshest coffee available, roasted to order and delivered right to their door.
“As our company grows, so does our need to be close to our customers,” said Evan Hafer, the CEO and founder of Black Rifle Coffee Company. “Opening the roasting facility in Tennessee gives us the ability to deliver the highest-quality product to the entire eastern half of the United States in the most cost-efficient and timely manner possible.”
The Manchester facility is expected to create 52 jobs over the next five years, and since Black Rifle Coffee Company is committed to hiring 10,000 veterans as the business expands, qualified veterans living in Tennessee will have first consideration for any open positions. As a further commitment to former service members, the company will give preference to veteran-owned businesses as they bring on new vendors and suppliers.
“Our commitment to veterans is one of the cornerstones this company was built on,” said Mat Best, the vice president of Black Rifle Coffee Company. “Whether it’s supporting veteran and first responder causes, funding the Veteran Entrepreneur Investment Program, or giving veterans and veteran-owned companies priority in our hiring process and vendor programs, our company will always stand with those who protect our country and the communities we live in.”
Black Rifle Coffee Company is hosting a grand opening event on August 22 from noon to 3 p.m. at the new facility located at 621 Park Tower Road in Manchester. This event is open to the public and will include a ribbon cutting with words from Evan Hafer, Mat Best, and Tennessee Department of Economic and Community Development Commissioner Bob Rolfe; a tour, food, entertainment, and lots of fresh-roasted coffee will follow!
Sneak Peek – Handl Defense Submission for US Army Sub Compact Weapon Oportunity
Friday, August 24th, 2018This is the Handl Defense submission for the US Army’s SCW Prototype Opportunity Notice. The US Army is giving up to six companies the chance to build a highly concealable Sub Compact Weapon system capable of engaging threat personnel with a high volume of lethal force while accurately firing at close range with minimal collateral damage. The weapon should be optimized for shooting 147 grain 9mm.
The Handl Defense SCW is under 15 inches when folded and weighs under 7 pounds. It can be easily stowed in an aviators kit bag, briefcase, or in vehicles.
The Handl Defense SCW weapon system allows for use of readily available 9mm pistol magazines. The Handl Defense SCW could be configured to unit organic pistol magazines. This would allow for lower cost implementation and the ability to share magazines under duress.
A Sig Sauer P320 conversion kit is under going development, and will be made available to DoD on their request. This would allow interoperability with the M17 pistol. Allowing cost benefits by minimizing proprietary system components.
This system leverages existing programs and their supply chains to provide unprecedented flexibility to DoD. Intended as a complete weapon, or if DoD chooses, as a removable conversion kit for M4s in the inventory. The end user can select a highly portable folding stock 5.55x45mm configuration with a donor M4 platform.

Unity Tactical FUSION Friday
Friday, August 24th, 2018FUSION, by Unity Tactical, is a system of modular, multi-purpose components that provide end users unparalleled flexibility in mounting accessories to weapon platforms. It offers complete control in attachment of lights, lasers, sights, and other equipment to achieve complete integration, optimal placement, lightest weight, and most economy of space.
This FUSION configuration features the Micro Hub 2.0 and Backup Iron Sight – Folding. It’s a perfect setup to integrate a light with the B.E. Meyers MAWL. The MAWL has a unique L-shaped footprint that leaves just enough room for the Micro Hub 2.0 in front. This is a perfect place for a backup iron sight. But, the Micro Hub 2.0 provides a secondary platform to attach either a Surefire Scout or Streamlight PRO-TAC directly to the assembly. The benefit is that both laser and light are situated above bore, making it easier to clear barricades. In this configuration, the onboard fire controls for the MAWL and Scout M600U are easily accessed by the operator’s support hand thumb. A TAPS Standard dual pressure switch located immediately behind the MAWL provides ambidextrous access to both electronic devices if the shooter needs to switch shoulders while pulling security or shooting around a barricade. And of course, this entire setup can be assembled in reverse to accommodate left-handed shooters.
FUSION components are machined from 6061-T6 aluminum and MILSPEC Type 3 anodized. Designed and made in the US from US materials and good ole’ fashioned American innovation. FUSION is the original and best modular accessory mounting system. Make your gear work for you, not the other way around.
FUSION components are available from Unity Tactical and authorized dealers to build your perfect setup.
