Slider from TMS 
Friday, August 26th, 2011
The Slider is an innovative load carrying solution from Tactical Medical Solutions. While TMS specializes in medical gear, their personnel were 18D SF Medics. Consequently, they are no strangers to wearing body armor and the challenges of effectively using the available load carrying real estate on a vest.
The Slider attaches to the side of an armor vest and offers what is essentially a PALS panel that “slides” along a webbing track from rear to front. You store your extra kit in the rear and pull it forward when needed. It’s important to note that it will sit in front of your pouches so it isn’t necessarily something you are going to want to leave there depending on the mission. It was actually originally envisioned for 40mm grenades but works just as well for anything. Medical gear, extra magazines, etc.
Look for an updated video of the latest version of the Slider later this week.
The Slider as well as all TMS products are available for agency purchase from www.adsinc.com/tactical-medical-solutions.
SOTECH Takes a Ride into History
Monday, August 22nd, 2011
The photo is a little tongue-in-cheek, but the thought process behind it is a very serious part of SOTECH’s innovation process. As an avid military historian, SOTECH’s CEO Jim Cragg encourages his staff to study weapon development and soldier load carriage throughout history to spur the creative juices in developing SOTECH’s designs for the Future Warrior and Future Enforcer. Pictured above, Jim attends the week long U.S. Cavalry School on the Little Big Horn battlefield. The school teaches riding with period equipment, cavalry tactics, and use of period weapons, as well as a mounted military history staff ride. As one point of interest, in 1876 most troopers of the 7th Cavalry didn’t have a quick-draw ammunition belt, so they put their bullets in piles on the ground, many leaving them behind when ordered to fall back. In a history repeating itself moment, LA Sheriff’s Dept SEB Sniper Cadre approached SOTECH in 2001 asking for an ammunition harness because they had set their rifle ammo on the ground in position and found it cumbersome to police up their rounds and radio when ordered to shift positions. Some things never change. Jim is pictured testing SOTECH’s new VIPER plate carrier system while Lt. W.W. Cook (Ron Glasgow) and a trooper (Gary Newton) are sporting Hellcat kits.
Check out www.USCavarlySchool.com if you are interested in experiencing the way our forefathers fought. The school culminates with a reenactment on the yearly anniversary of Custer’s Last Stand. And yes, Jim was ingloriously scalped by a Native American warrior with a Nerf war club.
