Soldiers Get Hands-On Experience With New Tech During Combined Resolve

June 17th, 2022

GRAFENWOEHR, Germany — Combined Resolve 17 put an Army brigade and multinational units to the test on more than just their combat readiness and interoperability — the exercise brought future capabilities into the current fight.

Combined Resolve is a U.S. Army exercise consisting of 5,600 service members, Allies and partners from more than 10 countries, and is designed to assess units’ abilities to conduct combat operations effectively in a multi-domain battlespace. Combined Resolve 17 is scheduled to take place from May 20 to June 19, 2022.

The 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment — serving as the opposing force in Combined Resolve — pitted robotic combat vehicles, or RCVs, against the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 3rd Infantry Division and their partner nations in simulated combat.

The RCVs are part of Project Origin, an initiative in development as part of the Army’s modernization efforts from the Ground Vehicle Systems Center, or GVSC, under the Army Combat Capabilities Development Command. The program tests and experiments with autonomous ground vehicles to support Army maneuvers and provide a variety of load packages, depending on the situation.

This training provided Project Origin engineers with real-time feedback on the capability, utility, and combat effectiveness of the latest generation of RCVs. The vehicles are remote or autonomously controlled and designed to assist with a wide range of operations including long-range reconnaissance, concealment, electronic warfare, and autonomous resupply operations.

“Anytime we can get technology in [Soldiers’] hands and find out, right away, what they like, what they don’t like, helps us to not expend resources in the wrong areas,” said Todd Willert, an engineer with GVSC. “Being out here with the [Soldiers] is the most productive thing for the Army’s Robotic Combat Vehicle Program.”

Soldiers with the 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment have been working with Project Origin since the beginning of Combined Resolve 17, however the current iteration of RCVs they are training with have already been through two weeks of hands-on experimentation with the 1st Special Forces Group at Dugway Proving Ground, Utah.

“This is something I didn’t think we would be seeing in the [Infantry] as soon as we are,” said Sgt. Andrew Carmichael, Sniper section leader with 1st Battalion, 4th Infantry Regiment. “It’s definitely here to stay, so the quicker we can expose our allies and our own forces to this technology and how to implement and defend against it, is crucial in the next fight.”

Soldier feedback within multinational exercises inform Army modernization on requirements operating in the coalition environment, promoting interoperability and communicates strength of a combined U.S., Allied and partner force to shape the security environment. At the conclusion of Combined Resolve the RCVs will be taken to Grafenwoehr Training Area in order further test their capabilities and conduct live fire training.

Silencer Central Announces New Partnership with Chris Dorsey

June 16th, 2022

Sioux Falls, South Dakota – June 14, 2022 – Silencer Central, America’s largest silencer dealer, is excited to announce its new partnership with Chris Dorsey of Dorsey Pictures.  

In addition to being one of the world’s most widely traveled hunters, Dorsey is an outdoor television pioneer, conservation thought leader, biologist, award-winning author, film producer and regular contributor to some of the largest mainstream media outlets in the country, including Forbes. Dorsey has taken the 29 big game species of North America, the deadly seven species of Africa, the spiral horns of Africa, the Spanish ibex slam and the wild turkey world slam.  He’s a member of the Outdoor Legends Hall of Fame and is a recipient of the Ray Scott Trailblazer Award, as well as the Curt Gowdy Memorial Award.  Dorsey has also served in board and advisory positions for numerous conservation and sporting advocacy organizations and forever works to mainstream the vital role that hunters play in conservation.

“I recently had the opportunity to hunt with Chris in Africa,” said Brandon Maddox, CEO of Silencer Central. “Not only is he an avid outdoorsman and conservationist, but he truly understands the benefits of hunting suppressed, and what we’re trying to do at Silencer Central. His accolades, his knowledge and experience and his passion to share the outdoors with others will make this partnership a success.”

Through the ambassador program, Silencer Central strives to break the stigma surrounding silencers. An exceptional tool for sound elimination and recoil reduction, suppressors are multi-functional and great when used properly by hunters. Silencer Central delivers directly to customers in 42 states where silencers are legal. The shipping process has revolutionized the way suppressors are sold and allows for customers to streamline their purchasing experience by cutting out unnecessary hurdles to silencer ownership.

Customers can buy direct from Silencer Central. For more information, call 888-781-8778 or visit www.silencercentral.com

ORSM 22 – Adidas Five Ten

June 16th, 2022

I have been a huge fan of Five Ten for years. It’s good to see that the brand is still alive under Adidas but I wish they’d go back to their roots and create some more outdoor styles beyond the biking styles they currently make.

However, some of these shoes can be used for other applications than intended like the Trailcross Mid Pro.

This non-waterproof, mid height boot can be used for maritime ops and incorporates D3O at the ankle to mitigate injuries.

Best of all, and features Five Ten’s famous stealth rubber sole compound?. Sticky, it will ensure you are surefooted on wet terrain.

ORSM 22 – Morakniv

June 16th, 2022

I’m a fan of the Garberg from Morakniv which comes with their multi mount option.

It features a stainless blade with full-tang construction into a polymer barrel-shaped handle with soft friction grip. The blade also has a ground spine for use with a fire starter.

The sheath is PALS as well as belt compatible.

June 16th, 2022
