Warrior West To Feature Free Training Classes

March 15th, 2017

I’ve always enjoyed the Warrior Expos, but the thing they’ve been missing is hands on training which attendees can take back to their jobs. This year, in addition to showcasing the latest gear, Warrior West will kick it up a notch by introducing “Training Never Stops!”  This series features use of force and leadership training sessions by Progressive F.O.R.C.E. Concepts along with medical continuing education by JTM Training Group. There is also a seminar on the transition to civilian life from the military, presented by The Honor Group.


Here is an example of the types of training being offered at Warrior West, April 19th & 20th, in San Diego, California.

Surviving Active Violence Events (SAVE)

With the increase in workplace violence, school shootings, and domestic terrorism across our nation,PFC created a course designed for participants to learn how to assess, react to, and survive rapidly unfolding active violence events.

To learn more about the various classes, check out the ADS Warrior Wednesday entry at adsinc.com/warrior-expo/warrior-expo-west-training

B&T – 40MM Ammo Carriers

March 15th, 2017

I spied these leg mounted subloads for 40mm rounds in the Brügger & Thomet booth during Germany’s Enforce Tac expo in Germany. The carrier is meant to be used with the B&T GL06, but they could be handy for anyone using 40mm launchers.

They are offered in different sizes to carry different numbers of rounds, but as you can see, the carriers are long enough for riot control rounds and feature indentations on the sides of the individual round carriers to offer some friction and keep them in place.

Yesterday, the Army Materiel Command recognized the 75th Ranger Regiment’s ROLO or Ranger O Low Titer Whole Blood Program as the individual military winner of the US Army’s Greatest Innovation Award at the Association of the United States Army Global Warfare Symposium in Huntsville, Alabama. The ROLO Program, developed in collaboration with international civilian and military providers of the Trauma Hemostasis and Oxygenation Research, or THOR, Network, was created to bring emergency blood transfusions from the hospital to the field.

Under the program, unit members with O-type blood are identified, and then tested for IgM titers to determine potential donors to be used as the POI, or Point of Injury. Due largely to the efforts of Lt. Col. Andre Cap, Chief of Blood Research at the Army Institute of Surgical Research, and Lt. Col. Jason Corley, Deputy Director of the Army Blood Program, the ROLO Program has been fully implemented at the unit level in just 18 months.

For more information on the US Army’s Greatest Innovation Award Program, visit www.amc.army.mil/amc/agiap.
