Wednesday, June 12th, 2013House NDAA Bill Requires Army To Complete Individual Carbine Testing
Sunday, June 9th, 2013On March 19th we broke the story that Ms. Lynne M. Halbrooks, Principal Deputy Inspector General, Department of Defense Inspector General testified before the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform stating that the Army’s Individual Carbine program was under audit due to “concerns that DoD may not have an established need for this weapon nor developed performance requirements for the $1.8 billion acquisition.” What a mouthful.
We hear that as the Army charges ahead with the PIP portion of their “dual path strategy” to modernize Army rifles, they are looking to reprogram the funds set aside to test the Individual Carbine candidates currently under consideration,s effectively ending the program.
But, just as members of the House want the military to adopt a single camouflage uniform, others are working to force the Army to continue to spend funds on a program that its not sure it needs.
Below is the amendment that was added to the 2014 NDAA (HR 1960) by the House Armed Services Committee. The bill passed out of committee on Thursday and should hit the House floor this week.

Noveske Pack
Thursday, May 23rd, 2013
Manufactured by FirstSpear for Noveske Rifle Works, the Noveske Backpack is a concealed carry design. Above and just below you can see the Grey/Dark Brown/Rust model.
The Noveske Pack accommodates a completely assembled and loaded rifle 28″ or shorter. The backpack will also hold rifles with barrels up to 16″ if the upper and lower are separated. Additionally, it features padded shoulder straps as well as daisy chain and a beaver tail pocket to carry bulky items externally. One detail I really like is the low key, laser etched Noveske logo at the center of the bag. Some might be a little put off by the Rust accents along the back of the bag but they are against your back, and trust me, no one will ever say that this bag screams, “Gun!”
The pack is also offered in Black / Earth, seen below.
Either color also comes with a Pig patch.
