Rapid Equipping Force – Enhanced Speed Bag System
Tuesday, February 10th, 2015The Rapid Equipping Force worked with material developers Product Director Joint Service, Armament Research, Development and Engineering Center (ARDEC) and Natick Soldier Research Development Engineering Center (NSRDEC) engineers on the Enhanced Speed Bag System.
The ESBS is designed to rapidly resupply ground troops via low altitude helo drop. The system consists of a hands free linear brake, rope and padded bag.
Normally, when supplies are kicked from a helo, upwards of 50% of are destroyed upon impact. With ESBS the brake automatically applies friction to the rope orienting the bag with the padded base down. This means you only have to pad the bottom of the bag and in testing, only about 10% of supplies are damaged.
In addition to increased survivability of critical supplies such as ammunition, food, water and medical hear, ESBS standardizes helo resupply equipment and procedures.

FirstSpear Friday Focus – Adaptive Cummerbund
Friday, January 30th, 2015
The Adaptive Cummerbund is the next step in the FirstSpear system approach. Up to now, you’ve been able to exchange front panels for several carriers. Now, you can take full advantage of their Tubes technology. Tubes are located at both front and rear of the cummerbund meaning you can easily swap them out, as well as front and rear panels.
It is currently available in the “land” style with loop Velcro on the body side for Ragnar pockets, as well as a TFSS maritime flotation cummerbund specifically designed for combat swimmers, and/or maritime airborne operations personnel.
The TFSS cummerbund has been designed and tested for use during egress from a submerged structure of any type, providing 45lbs of positive flotation in seawater at a depth of 33 ft, 57lbs of positive flotation at a depth of 15 ft and 80lbs of flotation on the surface, allowing the wearer a maximum load-out of equipment.
Soft Armor Ballistic Inserts complying with NIJ Category IIIA.06 or specific Military Specification requirements are available from FirstSpear for an additional fee.
This video will bring it all together.
These Adaptive Cummerbunds are just the beginning. Look for FIrstSpear to add purpose built sections for the Adaptive Cummerbund as well as integration of other mission essential elements.
Available in Black, Ranger Green, Multicam, and Coyote
