Each week, SSD takes a look at a FirstSpear product during our Friday Focus series. This time, we are showing another item from their “Non-Stocking Non-Standard” category. These Double and Triple M4 Speed Reloads with Pistol Pockets incorporate a pistol magazine pocket sewn onto each M4 pocket.

The pockets were built at the request of a Federal Special Operations Group and FS ended up running a batch in Black, Ranger Green, Coyote, and MultiCam. M4 pockets are FS speed reloads featuring stiffened inserts and the pistol pockets are sewn on (fits single stack .45 all the way up to double stack HK .45) and have an optional full flap or FS speed reload tab which can be configured by the user.

Currently available only in 6/9™ attachment style. While supplies last.

Argo Exhibits at NGUSA

September 4th, 2014

Argo, the Canadian ATV company, exhibited at the recent NGAUS conference in Chicago, IL. It’s great to see these guys starting to focus on the military market. Their family of amphibious ATVs have applicability not just for DOMOPS missions such as flood/hurricane response that the National Guard is assigned, but given the ‘Shift to the Pacific’ their vehicles make a lot of sense for use as a tactical mobility platform in jungle and mountainous terrain given their extremely low ground pressure and amphibious capability. Pictured above is their XTI 8×8 vehicle equipped with rubber tracks for over-snow or debris field applications.

A Look At USSOCOM’s Human Performance Program from a CCT Perspective

September 4th, 2014

In this USAF video by Andrew Arthur Breese for AIRMAN magazine, we get an inside look at USSOCOM Human Performance Program from the perspective of Combat Controller SMSgt Kenneth Huhman. I remember when he was a SrA and he was a great young man, very fit and full of potential. Well, these ensuing 15 years or so have taken their toll on him. Fortunately, the days of “take some Motrin and suck it up” are going away and sports physiology and medicine are rightfully being applied to our combat athletes. The Human Performance program is helping Special Operators like SMSgt Huhman overcome injuries and reach their full potential. Hopefully, one day soon, programs like this will be available for military personnel.
