It’s the perfect Goldilocks combo for fall hunting. Not too hot, not too lightweight, but just right for the days that most hunters head into the field. “

Harvester VX3 accessories include a beanie, gloves and a matching neck gaiter for maximum concealment and protection against the elements, all with the same materials and construction as the rest of the VX3 line. The beanie retails for $45; the gloves for $45 and the neck gaiter for $40.

Thursday, September 18th, 2025

Earlier this year, the US Army released ALARACT 056/2025, providing updated guidance on the disposition and disposal of Organizational Clothing and Individual Equipment (OCIE) items determined to have no economic value (NEV).

ALARACT 056/2025 outlines the process for removing legacy and end-of-life (EOL) OCIE items from Soldier OCIE records.

Central Issue Facilities (CIF) will remove listed NEV OCIE items from Soldier records during appointments. A new system, Soldier Equipment and Asset Management (SEAM), will automate this process in the future.

Soldiers will be authorized to dispose of certain items and other items will be collected for demilitarization. Patches/insignia will need to be removed, and IR tabs destroyed before disposal.

HQDA, DCS, G-4 will be updating AR 700-84 and CTA 50-900 to reflect EOL processes.

The attached photo depicts OCIE items retained by the Soldier. Helmets, Armor and Sleep Systems will be turned in to CIF upon PCS/ETS.
