Additionally, it features two GP pouches on the rear of the pack that are accessible from either side while the pack is worn facilitating “fighting off your buddy’s back”.

ANZAC Day

April 25th, 2011

Each April 25th some of our closest allies; Australia and New Zealand, commemorate the service and sacrifice of their service members. The day begins with a dawn service and there are several other events throughout the day including parades.

It’s bigger than Veteran’s Day here with more participation. It’s what Veteran’s Day was probably like after the War to End All Wars and ANZAC does have it’s roots in the memory of the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps troops who served the empire in World War One. While April 25th might seem an odd date, it is actually the anniversary of the first major battle fought by ANZAC forces; the battle of Gallipoli in what is now Turkey.

Please join us in honoring not only their fallen, but also the fact that they are on our team. So take a moment and have an ANZAC biscuit on us.

Thank you Australia and New Zealand for everything you do in the Coalition.

Agilite and Source Team Up to Produce New Tactical Hydration System

April 25th, 2011

Israeli firms Agilite and Source Vagabond Systems Ltd makers of Source hydration systems have teamed up to produce a new tactical hydration system. It is compatible with Agilite’s The new Source Diamond is a super-low profile hydration system featuring a contoured design allowing it to sit flatter on the wearer’s back than other systems.

The Agilite-Source joint project involves a new version of the Diamond that is compatible with Agilite’s Modular Assault Suspension System (M.A.S.S.) load bearing system so that the Diamond can be worn independently of the Agilite Modular Assault Pack that is included with every Agilite Vest like the one above.

“With Agilite gear being used more and more by US and other forces in Afghanistan, it is important that we have the perfect integrative hydration system that suits our high-speed, no-bulk style,” said Dror Lefler, Agilite’s Chief Designer; “Our assault pack already works with hydration systems but we wanted an alternative for when the assault pack is detached. Many soldiers prefer our M.A.S.S. (Modular Attachment Suspension System) over M.O.L.L.E or other systems as, using less material and much less webbing, it is much lighter.”

“We are pleased to be working with Agilite on this project, they are known for their innovative high-speed tactical designs and the inclusion of a high-speed system like the Diamond into their load-bearing system is a logical progression.” Said Meni Keinan, Head of military design at Source.

Look for exclusive photos of this new system here soon.

The Aftermath of Fayetteville’s Killer Tornado

April 24th, 2011

One week ago Fayetteville, North Carolina was hit by an F3 tornado that left one fatality. Fortunately, our friends at Grey Group were unscathed and set about immediately to documenting the effects of the storm as well as securing their perimeter. Early on, Matt the potty mouth drops a coupe of expletives so watch your volume around civilians.

I am saddened by the destruction. I have spent more of my adult life in Fayetteville than any other one place so I guess you could say I am from there as much as I am from anywhere else. It’s rough to see places you know torn asunder by mother nature. On the other hand, it’s good to see friends surviving and putting things back together. I’ve known some of the Grey Group crew since before there was a Grey Group and they were on the horn letting folks know they were ok as soon as the “all clear” was sounded. I gotta tell you, that was a big relief. Thanks to Grey Group from producing this record of the storm.
