The Army has purchased thousands of the RAMMP (Rapid Access Modular Medical Panel) as well as the Sliver Medical Packs. But, what most medics don’t realize is that the pouches are designed to fit both both products. You can take a pouch from the RAMMP and mount it directly into the Sliver via hook and loop or MOLLE. Or, vice versa.
Additionally, the RAMMP features a zipper running side to side along its middle. This allows you to more effectively configure the interior of a vehicle.
This will give you a shot of the Mystery Ranch SpadeLock Med Panel in a 3-Day Assault pack.
As you can see, the pockets are mounted via hook and loop to the SpadeLock making configuration and use a snap.
The Marine Corps strikes again. This time it’s the USMC Corpsman Assault System which relies on a government owned design. So far the Marines have done this with several items including the IMTV and the USMC Pack. It means that commercial gear companies don’t have a shot at getting their designs into the hands of Marines and the issue equipment is designed by committee.
About a year ago, MARCORSYSCOM issued an RFI for production of a Corpsman Assault System consisting of:
Corpsman Assault System
Medical Assault Pack, CAS
Shoulder Harness Assembly, CAS
Shoulder Harness Pocket Assembly, CAS
Handle Assembly, CAS
Medical Sustainment Bag, CAS
Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Belt, Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Strap, Upright, Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Strap, Medical Thigh Rig, CAS
Modular Medical Pouch, CAS
Narc Pouch, CAS
Medium Pouch, CAS
Large Pouch, CAS
Small Reversible Pouch, CAS
Medium Reversible Pouch, CAS
Elastic Panel, CAS
Double Pocket Panel, CAS
Stacked Pocket Panel, CAS
Triple Pocket Panel, CAS
I’m surprised it took a year for this to actually hit the pre-solicitation stage but the Marine Corps has done a very good job of keeping an eye on the programmatics side; synching dollars and programs. They know where their money is and when to spend it.
The Marines know what they want and are giving interested parties a heads up that they plan on buying up to 10,000 of these systems. Specifically, they want offerors to be able to produce at least 8,585 Corpsman Assault Systems within ten (10) months of contract award.
Patterns are available in the documentation for those interested in bidding. Feel free to read the whole thing at www.fbo.gov.

From Kletterwerks, which is the son of the grandfather of Mystery Ranch, “In appreciation of winter, all of you, and this holiday season, we’re giving away a FREE Pack and a set of one-of-a-kind Wiss scissors signed by Dana!. Click on the link below for a chance to win. We will announce the winner this Friday.”
“(this pack, pictured above, was an original KW design from the 1970’s and this will be the FIRST pack delivered from the new production!) Also, we engraved Dana’s signature on a set of Wiss scissors that we’re throwing in for the lucky winner. One of a kind, signed set of tools that we’ve been using for decades… :
This is a Facebook-based contest so you’ll have to enter over there at www.facebook.com/Kletterwerks.
INCH as in I’m Never Coming Home. So if a Bug Out Bag is meant for 72 hours on your own, what is the INCH bag intended for? What should be in it?
Somebody has already launched a website dedicated to the concept – inchbag.com. But, it’s typical Doomsday Prepper caliber with lots of surplus store stuff.
If you had to actually live out of a pack, what would you carry? I’d start it out with these 10 essentials.
1. Knife
2. Fire making materials
3. Water purification and bottle
4. Food / food acquisition (snares, firearm, etc)
5. Navigation (map/compass/GPS)
6. First Aid items
7. Shelter
8. Environmental protection (clothing, sunglasses, etc)
9. Cord
10. Signal Devices
and that 11th, a positive attitude.
But, what do you guys think?
ADS Inc has just surpassed 6000 Likes on Facebook. To celebrate, we asked ADS to let us giveaway a Camelbak Urban Assault Pack in US4CES OCIE pattern. You can be one of the first to own a pack in this sought after pattern.
Since we’re celebrating Facebook ‘Likes’ we’re going to run the contest on Facebook. To win, you’ll need to start by giving both ADS Inc and SSD a ‘Like’. Then, you’ll need to comment on Facebook.com/adsinc explaining that SSD sent you and which US4CES pattern you like and why. For example, “SSD sent me here, I like US4CES OCIE Pattern because I like how it blends with all of the other patterns (btw, if we see that statement cut and pasted word for word, you won’t win). The comment should focus on which US4CES pattern is your favorite and why.
On Sunday 25 November at 2359Z we’ll randomly select a winner from the entries on the ADS Inc Facebook wall. The winning entry must meet all of the requirements. The winner will be contacted via private message and has 24 hours to follow up with shipping address. Failure to follow up within 24 hours will result in forfeiture of prize. Must be 18 to enter. Void where prohibited.
