Enforce Tac 24 – Tilak Operator Pant
Wednesday, February 28th, 2024Tilak has released an Operator Pant to go with the Operator Jacket we showed during last year’s Enforce Tac and remains one of my favorite pieces. This is a great combo, with full articulation and mapped fabric applications.
This level 5 pant features three different fabrics. It shares two of them with the jacket but you’ll also notice the abrasion resistant anti-scuff patch reinforcement.
The Operator Pant features two zippered cargo pockets at the thighs along with the usual front slash pockets. However, as these are all business, there are no rear pockets. Instead, the seat is made from the same high tenacity fabric at the knees. You’ll also not that those knee reinforcements accept removable knee pads.
Additionally, there’s a zippered expansion at the cuff to accommodate Telemark boots.
Offered in Black, Coyote, Ranger Green, and MultiCam.
Everything Tilak does is well expected and you can order direct from their website with shipping to the US, or mostly anywhere else.

Army Tests New Rifle, Automatic Rifle in Extreme Weather
Wednesday, February 28th, 2024FORT MOORE, Georgia – Soldiers at the Cold Regions Test Center in Fort Greely, Alaska, where temperatures dipped to 35 degrees below zero last month, tested the Next Generation Squad Weapon (NGSW) XM7 rifle and XM250 automatic rifle in various mission-oriented tasks under conditions one might experience in the Arctic.
Testing began in earnest in late January after a week of foundational new equipment training to familiarize the Soldiers with the weapons, which will be fielded, beginning this year, to members of the Close Combat Force, which includes infantry Soldiers, cavalry scouts, combat engineers, forward observers and combat medics.
The NGSW system includes the two weapons, an advanced fire control and a 6.8 mm family of ammunition.
The NGSW team, which comprises the Soldier Lethality Cross-Functional Team (SL CFT), Program Executive Office Soldier, Joint Program Executive Office Armaments & Ammunition and industry partners, worked with a team from the Army Test and Evaluation Command to see how the extreme cold might affect the performance of the weapons, the ammunition, the fire control and power supplies.
Testing wrapped up Feb. 9, and results will be made available to Army senior leaders soon.
The process of developing and fielding transformational capabilities is no longer linear, said Brig. Gen. Monté Rone, director of the SL CFT. A platoon within the 101st Airborne Division completed a limited user test in November 2023 to assess the capabilities and limitations of the NGSW system of systems.
“Once upon a time, we developed, tested and fielded capabilities in that order, and in doing so, sometimes we gave Soldiers what we thought they needed and not necessarily what they wanted,” said Rone, who also serves as the Commandant of the Infantry School. “We do things differently now, keeping Soldiers engaged in every step of the process in a variety of Soldier touchpoints, so we will give them the weapons they need to be more lethal and more survivable on the battlefield.”
Weather testing events also give developers insights into how atmospheric conditions affect the Soldiers using the weapons.
“Extreme cold can affect the weapon’s functionality, of course, but it also hinders a Soldier’s movement and mobility,” said Maj. Brandon Davis, a member of the SL CFT operations team at Fort Moore. “So which sling does he prefer in these conditions? Can he or she effectively manipulate the widgets on the weapon wearing gloves? We’re getting after every aspect of how the NGSW impacts lethality and mobility under extreme conditions.”
The Army has scheduled NGSW testing in extreme heat and humidity for later this year.
