Regulus Global Prepared To Provide Field Hospitals To Deal With COVID-19 Pandemic

March 25th, 2020

Some months back I visited Regulus Global to discuss the fully equipped field hospitals they have been providing to the UN for Ebola response in Africa. Considering the current COVID-19 pandemic, I thought it was a good idea to share some of the information I learned.

Regulus Global has a history of providing fully functional, ready-to-deploy, scalable UN Level II Mobile Hospitals.

They provide Medical shelter modular systems which are mobile and rapidly-deployable featuring liners (with floor) to provide a clean environment for medical operations. Additionally, there is a pre-installed electrical system and air distribution plenum is standard.

They offer complete infrastructure/inventory for stabilization and treatment-in-place of patients during mass-gathering incidents. These include an Emergency Medical Treatment and Triage Solution Module (E-MTTS MOD). There are also three configurations for surge-capacity patients (12 bed, 25 bed hub and spoke and 25 bed square) which can be scaled by combining as needed. These freestanding units are designed for quick set-up and can be augmented with medical equipment and supply sets to provide a total turnkey solution for mobile medical needs.

Other options include alternate care sites used during a mass casualty event and/or drive-thru distribution systems for use during a pandemic all the way to hospital surge facilities.

Of particular interest during this current crisis, their Drive Thru Clinic System offers a versatile mode of providing services or conducting checkpoints.

Modular Mobile Hospital Configurations, including surgery, can provide complete stand-alone mobile hospitals customized for 12 to 100 beds or more.

Regulus will work with the customer to provide the right-sized mobile medical facility. Everything arrived kitted and ready-to-go. In many cases, transportation boxes are used for storage and as furniture in the medical facility.

Regulus Global can also provide full power generation and conditioning along with HVAC solutions as well as billeting and dining facilities for medical and support personnel.

Blackhawk Expands T-Series with L2C Light Bearing Holster

March 24th, 2020

Level 2 Compact Light Bearing Holster Available for Glock 17 TLR-7/8

VIRGINIA BEACH, Virginia – March 24, 2020 – Blackhawk, a leader in the law enforcement and military equipment realm for over 20 years, announced today that it has expanded its popular line of T-Series holsters with the introduction of its first Level 2 Compact (L2C) Light Bearing Holster compatible with the Glock 17 and Streamlight TLR-7 and TLR-8 pistol light.

Designed to provide law enforcement, military, undercover agents, concealed carry holders and others with a dependable light bearing holster option, the latest T-Series models offers a perfect combination of durability and sturdiness for every-day use. Initially available in a right-handed model for the popular Glock 17, the new L2C holster retains key features to assist with rapid deployment from concealment.

Among the key features found on the L2C holster include a new speed cut to assist with a faster draw, a low-profile design and RMR-compatibility. Externally, the L2C holster features a proprietary, glass-reinforced nylon to ensure the highest degree of durability available in a duty rated holster.

Designed to follow Blackhawk’s Master Grip Principle, all T-Series holsters have been specifically developed to allow the user’s hand to land naturally where it should in order to deploy the sidearm. This efficient movement pairs with a sound-dampening, low-friction, dual-density internal material that translates into a smooth, quiet draw.

Additional key points that are standard on all T-Series L2C holsters include an all-new attachment method called the Quick Dual Release, or QDR. This attachment method features an intuitive button release that allows easy attachment to and removal from a belt without weaving it through traditional belt loops. The QDR can easily accommodate belts ranging from 1.5 to 2.25 inches and allows the holster to be canted at various angles, depending on user preference.

All L2C holsters include a Two-Slot Belt loop attachment method that allows the user to tuck the grip of the pistol toward his or her body for better concealment and less interference with daily tasks.

For more information on the new holster for the Glock 17/19/22/23/31/32/45/4 with TLR 7/8 or to view the complete line of T-Series holsters visit www.blackhawk.com/holsters.

SIG SAUER Releases 716i TREAD

March 24th, 2020

The new 716i TREAD is a version of SIG’s 716, an AR-10 pattern, direct impingement, 7.62mm semi-automatic carbine, which is similar to the rifle SIG won the Indian Army tender with. It features an M-LOK handguard, Magpul stock, SIG pistol grip, and ambidextrous controls. Additionally, it is compatible with SR-25 pattern magazines.

I had a chance to fire the Indian Army Rifle variant during a trip last fall to SIG Academy.

It was outfitted with a SIG Optics TANGO6T 1-6x optic as used with the US Army’s M110A1 CSASS.

One curious feature of the Indian Army version you won’t get with the 716i TREAD is this M-LOK compatible bayonet adapter.

Here’s another interesting point to that range day with SIG’s new Defense Product Management Team; the ammunition we used was manufactured by SIG Ammo to the same spec used by the Indian Army. They used it during their developmental cycle in order to eliminate delays in obtaining actual contract ammo. That way, when SIG’s guns showed up at the trial, they knew the rifles would function.

Here is SIG SAUER’s press release on the new 716i TREAD.SIG SAUER Adds to TREAD Brand with Introduction of Direct Impingement 716i TREAD AR-10 Rifle

NEWINGTON, N.H., (March 24, 2020) – SIG SAUER, Inc. is pleased to introduce the 716i TREAD, a direct impingement, AR-10 platform that provides versatility for long range shooting and hunting while maintaining a lightweight design for easy carry. The 716i TREAD is easily customizable with existing TREAD branded accessories.

“The TREAD brand has gained recognition for offering premium products, at a competitive price point, that are designed, engineered and built with the same quality and innovation consumers expect from any SIG SAUER product,” said Tom Taylor, Chief Marketing Officer and Executive Vice President, Commercial Sales. “The 716i TREAD brings the power of the AR-10 platform to the TREAD series and is an exciting expansion to the line. The rifle is lightweight with premium features right out of the box, and consumers can anticipate an affordable price point below $1,400 in stores. For those consumers that want to customize their rifle, they have the freedom to grow with TREAD branded accessories already available in stores that fit the 716i TREAD.”

The SIG SAUER 716i TREAD is a lightweight, forged aluminum receiver, direct impingement rifle that comes optics ready and features a precision nitride coated, carbon steel barrel, an ambidextrous lower receiver, a free floating M-LOK™ handguard, a 2 stage Matchlite Duo Trigger, a six position adjustable stock, and comes chambered in 308 WIN.

716i TREAD Specs:
Overall Length: 37in.
Overall Height: 8in.
Overall Width: 2.5in.
Barrel Length: 16in.
Barrel Twist: 1:10in.
Weight (incl. magazine): 8.5lbs.

The SIG SAUER 716i TREAD is currently shipping and available for purchase at retailers nationwide. Complete product specs and information for the 716i TREAD are available at sigsauer.com.
