PDW W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L

Friday, January 13th, 2023

Modern Take on a Classic Summit Assault Style Backpack

For the start of 2023, Prometheus Design Werx introduces their W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L. This design is a modern interpretation of the classic, alpine style, top loading, summit assault pack. While this pack is dialed more towards wilderness and backcountry use, it features numerous, practical details for urban use as well, and a well-rounded daypack for multiple use cases. The W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L is highlighted by an updated and unique design feature which is the center front 2-way zipper. This style zipper opening allows a secondary B.E. access/entry point into the main compartment with the top lid closed, and when the top lid is opened and laid flat on any suitable surface, can be fully zipped opened to allow access to nearly 90% of the main compartment.

The W.U.U.L.F. Pack 24L is a part of Prometheus Design Werx’s PRO-Line. Available in Universal Field Gray, and Ranger Green as an exclusive to the brand GRR.

The Design and R&D Team at PDW states:

“The WUULF Pack 24L is at its core, a mountain pack. The pack name is derived from the words, ‘Wilderness Utility Urban Lay Flat’, which describes its basic functional criteria. It draws it design from the classic, single point top loaders from an earlier era. Top loading backpacks are the simplest method of pack entry and has been in use from the earliest days of backpack design. This design is not prone to failure and even if the top lid becomes inoperable, the pack body can still hold its contents. Unlike a zippered panel loader where if the zipper fails, so will the pack, and become useless. Other considerations were the metals buckles at the request of rock climbers; metal buckles will not crack if accidently stepped on like the nylon or acetyl type. Besides the modern additions of a loop panel for morale patches, ventilated ripple foam padding, laptop sleeve, and laser cut M.OLLE C.ompatible A.rray, what is notably unique to the WUULF Pack is the 2ndary entry point via the 2-way center body zipper. This allows user access into the main pack body with the top lid closed, and nearly full access to inside the pack if laid flat (like a ‘blood eagle’) with the top lid open. Finally, we created unique water bottle pockets which feature user replaceable shock cord, should they ever blow out. Unlike all other modern water bottle pockets using stretch fabrics, ours will be useable far beyond the standard life cycle.”

The WUULF Pack 24L In Universal Field Gray is available for purchase for $179.00 via their website, prometheusdesignwerx.com. The Ranger Green edition exclusive to GRR will available via their website grr.world on Friday 13JAN23 at noon PDT.

Spiritus Systems to Exhibit at SHOT Show 2023 – Booth 30311

Thursday, January 12th, 2023

Spiritus Systems will be exhibiting at SHOT Show on January 17-20 at Booth 30311 on Level 2 of the Venetian Expo Center. Customers will be able to see unreleased products slotted for 2023 and interact with Spiritus Systems products at the booth’s new “Kit Builder” tables.

The Spiritus Systems tactical nylon product line is extremely modular and can be configured (and re-configured) into a wide variety of formats. For the first time, guests will be able to test build loadouts at a “Kit Builder” station with the entire product catalog at their disposal. Oftentimes, static product displays don’t tell the whole story, and getting hands-on time with the system is an effective way to understand what makes Spiritus’ equipment special.

Booth 30311 will also be featuring two special guests: STOIC Condoning and Disco 32. Make sure to ask about STOIC’s training programs and mobile app, as well as Disco 32’s comms equipment solutions.

Special Tactics, AMC Airmen Spearhead Agile Combat Employment Concepts During Mission Generation Exercise

Thursday, January 12th, 2023

POPE FIELD, N.C. —

Special Tactics Airmen assigned to the 24th Special Operations Wing participated in a mission generation exercise on Jan. 5, 2023, alongside Air Mobility Command aircrews.

The 437th and 315th Airlift Wings launched 24 C-17 Globemaster IIIs from Joint Base Charleston to conduct the exercise and integrate with Air Force, Army, and Marine forces across five operating locations.

Several C-17s landed at Pope Army Airfield after the initial launch to establish a tactical operations center and conduct an airfield seizure with multiple special tactics teams.

“This exercise is about readiness and lethality,” said Maj. Zachary Barry, C-17 pilot and lead planner for the exercise. “We wanted to get as many aircraft as possible off the deck in a 48-hour timespan, to tell pacing threats that we can go anywhere, anytime.”

The airfield seizure took place on Fort Bragg’s Holland Landing Zone. There, Special Tactics teams secured the perimeter, established the airfield, and executed a follow-on clearance of nearby outposts.  

Working alongside AMC aircrews allows Special Tactics teams to plan for operations in joint environments to maximize lethality as an air and joint force.

“Exercises like these require detailed planning but pay dividends when complete,” said a 24th Special Operations Wing Special Tactics officer. “Agile combat employment is paramount to our success as an Air Force, and incorporating Special Tactics teams into exercises like this benefits everyone involved.”

Combining these skillsets with mobility air forces like those from the 437th AW demonstrates the need to get ahead of the nation’s pacing challenges. Mission generation takes competencies from across the U.S. Air Force and connects them with capabilities from the joint force to maneuver past tomorrow’s challenges and enhance combat readiness.
