PORTSMOUTH, RI – October 26, 2022 – Ocean State Innovations (OSI), a leading textile provider, announced their new offering of ITW Military Products.

Snakestaff Systems is proud to announce the Everyday Carry Tourniquet (ETQTM). Made in the U.S.A., it’s the smallest and lightest windlass tourniquet on the market. We spent years in R&D developing a reliable tourniquet that is 65% smaller than the industry standard. It fits in most 9mm pistol magazine carriers, in just about any pocket, or even on a keychain.
Responsible citizens are statistically more likely to use a tourniquet than their everyday carry pistol; however, very few people carry a tourniquet. Most tourniquets are large and bulky, making them difficult or uncomfortable to carry on your person. We set out to fix that problem without sacrificing reliability.
The ETQ is packed with innovative features that solve common issues. Occasionally, tourniquet windlasses become displaced during emergency transportation. On the ETQ, a carabiner gate locks in the windlass making the tourniquet more secure. The ETQ also includes a chemlight that automatically snaps and activates when applied—a feature that helps first responders locate an injury in low light. Lastly, the ETQ’s windlass is extremely rigid and textured for positive retention and grip, even when coated in blood.
In our research, we found many civilians don’t know the proper way to apply a tourniquet. The ETQ has simple instructions printed on the product, along with a QR code that navigates the user to an easy-to-understand video tutorial. This video can successfully guide someone with zero medical experience through emergency tourniquet application.
For Law Enforcement, Emergency Medical Services, Military, and whoever wants it, we also make the 1.5” ETQ WideTM version designed to meet criteria set forth by the Department of Defense Tourniquet Working Group. We look forward to submitting samples to CoTCCC and continue gathering real world data for when they conduct their next round of TQ evaluations. (Unfortunately they do not meet every year to recommend new TQ’s on the market. The last recommendations were in 2019) This true 1.5” wide version is a little bit easier to use, but slightly larger, at 50% the size of the industry standard.
We have nothing but respect for other tourniquet manufacturers. They have saved countless lives. The ETQ is just another tool in your arsenal. Think of it as a concealed carry handgun – useful when space and concealment is a factor. If you love your current tourniquet brand, keep using it; we just encourage you to carry one everyday, to train with it regularly, and only buy quality American made products.
Your family and friends count on you. Don’t be the guy without a tourniquet in an emergency.

Today, we can officially announce that all 1,189 Soldiers who previously resided in the impacted Smoke Bomb Hill barracks buildings have been relocated to barracks facilities on post or moved off the installation into community residential housing.
U.S. Army and installation leaders made a determination that the 50-year-old barracks passed the point of economic diminishing return after years to extensive work to maintain them to our standard.
To make as much space as possible for Soldiers relocating from Smoke Bomb Hill, nearly 600 soldiers were provided financial support to fund their rent for off-posting privatized housing.
Barracks to barracks moves across Fort Bragg were detailed consisting of multiple inspections by each unit’s chains of command and personnel from the Directorate of Public Works to ensure all rooms were clean and maintained before Soldiers moved into them.
This would not have been possible without the efforts of Fort Bragg leaders, as well as the patience of each of the service members involved. Every unit across Fort Bragg met together frequently to find the rooms and space to accommodate our service members.
“Fort Bragg came together as a community to help our Soldiers during this challenging time, and this is just the beginning as we continue to invest in future quality of life improvements for our Soldiers,” said Command Sgt. Maj. T.J. Holland, XVIII Airborne Corps and Fort Bragg’s senior enlisted advisor. “We also want to thank our world class community leaders who worked with our garrison leadership during this complex process to ensure our Soldiers are cared for. This is and will continue to be our #1 priority!”
Demolition of the impacted barracks and new construction will be announced at a later time.
“Our enduring obligation as Army leaders is to take care of our people, our Soldiers, and their Families,” said Mennes.
