The E9 Head Lamp Pouch was originally designed to carry the Surefire Minimus or Icon Headlamp on a MOLLE/PALs mountable pouch. Turns out it’s a great way to carry things like GoPro cameras, Cigarettes and other items you want to identify without opening the pouch.
It features a tuck behind PALS compatible attachment on the rear.
“A gun is like a parachute, when you need one to save your life nothing else will do but you have to have one on and know how and when to use it long before then.”

Upon returning he gave IED awareness briefings to departing units and helped stand up a pre-Iraq surge rifle course with the Asymmetric Warfare Group as a lead instructor.
