HAZLEHURST, GA, Jan. 3, 2022 – Propex Furnishing Solutions (“PFS”) will unveil the world’s first, self-reinforced, 100% thermoplastic composite material for the tactical industry at S.H.O.T show this year. CURV Tactical®, the latest innovative composite material, is made of heat-compacted woven polymer layers and requires no additional support structure to maintain its strength or impact resistance. It’s strong, lightweight, temperature tolerant, impermeable, recyclable and aesthetic — boasting unrivaled customizability in the tactical industry.
CURV® has had tremendous success in the automotive, travel and sports industries protecting, stiffening and decreasing the weight of consumer ready products. PFS has already partnered with top brands like Teijin, Bauer, Garmin and more to transform the way their customers favorite products are made.
“PFS will continue to innovate and is ready to play an integral part in the development of next generation tactical equipment.” said Eric Teather, Vice President of Innovative Composites at PFS. “Our, soon-to-be announced, tactical partners are developing products that will speak for themselves and provide enhanced protection and malleability when compared to rival composites.”
CURV® can be used in anti-ballistic applications and in conjunction with puncture-resistant materials such as Aramid fiber. It can also be used as a stiffener in bags, backpacks, holsters, ballistic vests and more. Because of its unique mono-construction; CURV® can be sewn, glued, laser-cut or thermoformed for precise fitment. High stiffness, high tensile strength, superior impact resistance and malleability with extremely low density are all highlights of CURV Tactical®.
Propex Furnishing Solutions Inc. is a leading manufacturer of innovative composites and technical fabrics around the world. PFS has manufacturing facilities in the United States, Germany and Hungary; employing more than 1,000 people around the world.

High Speed Gear® has always been recognized for designing some of the most versatile tactical pouches in the industry. The original TACO® was created for the United States Marine Corps based in Camp Lejeune, NC. Their dedication to providing battle-proven tactical gear that can be used for military and law enforcement markets worldwide has exceeded previous growth with the TACO® LT pouches. This pouch was designed to function the same as the TACO® with 25% less weight for those who understand “ounces equal pounds, and pounds equals pain.”
Specs:
• Magazines deploy easily and silently on demand
• Strip of loop fastener sewn inside rifle mag for additional contact and grip
• MOLLE version includes HSGI® Clips for attachment to MOLLE or PALS
• ABM version can mount to belts up to 2.25″
The BLAST® Bandage from TacMed™ Solutions was designed out of necessity to provide the ability to quickly package traumatic amputations, burns, and large pattern wounds with minimal use of supplies and effort.
It provides a 20″ X 20″ treatment area, but packs to about the size of a 4” combat bandage and provides a large non-adherent wound pad that can be easily wrapped around limbs and secured with the attached elastic wrap. The covering area of the BLAST® Bandage is large enough to cover the entire back or chest of most casualties.
The BLAST® Bandage also offers a removable multipurpose occlusive layer that can cover a 19″x 19″ area or be used to cover abdominal contents minimizing the loss of heat and moisture.
As with other TacMed Solutions bandages, the “brakes” on the bandage help prevent accidental unrolling of the elastic wrap during high-stress application. These brakes are especially helpful during the dressing of amputations. By providing multiple points of adhesion, the brakes prevent slippage of the elastic during the wrapping process creating a more secure, effective bandage and decreases the chance of the wound being exposed during movement.

JOINT BASE SAN ANTONIO-LACKLAND, Texas (AFNS) —
The Air Force Installation and Mission Support Center has announced topics and chairs for the 2022 Installation and Mission Support Weapons and Tactics Conference.
With a theme of “Adaptive Operations through Expeditionary Combat Support,” I-WEPTAC 2022 topics and Mission Area Working Group chairs are:
Transition the Agile Combat Support Deployment Model from the Air and Space Expeditionary Force to Air Force Force Generation, chaired by Capt. Randi Brown, Expeditionary Engineering Branch Chief, Air Combat Command Headquarters, Joint Base Langley-Eustis, Virginia.
Enterprise-as-a-Service and Base Operation Support Broken Glass for Expeditionary and Base Operation Support Communications, chaired by Donald Lewis, Cyberspace Systems Support Branch Chief, AFIMSC, Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland, Texas.
Operationalize Blue Small Unmanned Aerial Systems for Installation and Mission Support, chaired by Capt. Kristin Ober, Operations Branch Chief, AFIMSC Detachment 4, Ramstein Air Base, Germany.
Passive Defense for Adaptive Operations, chaired by Maj. Kendall Benton, Policy Branch Action Officer, Headquarters Air Force Security Forces Directorate, the Pentagon, Arlington, Virginia.
MAWG chairs, who were selected from 33 nominations submitted from across the Department of the Air Force, represent the diversity of installation and mission support Airmen and Guardians.
“Selections were based on relevant experience and their commanders’ acknowledgement of their exceptional leadership qualities,” said Col. Lance Clark, director of AFIMSC’s Expeditionary Support and Innovation Directorate.
AFIMSC assigned mentors to guide the working groups as they develop solutions for the topics. Mentors include retired Maj. Gen. Theresa Carter, former AFIMSC commander; retired Gen. Frank Gorenc, former commander of U.S. Air Forces in Europe; and retired Maj. Gen. Timothy M. Zadalis, former U.S. Air Forces in Europe-Air Forces Africa vice commander.
“We are lucky to have such great support from these senior leaders,” Ober said. “The encouragement and expectation to reach out to the highest ranks in the Air Force underscore how vital it is that we get these answers right and it speaks to AFIMSC’s commitment to get the most out of I-WEPTAC.”
With the MAWG leadership now in place, the chairs will be looking for Airmen and Guardians to build out their teams over the next few months. They welcome nominations for Airmen, Guardians and government civilians who want to participate in this year’s I-WEPTAC.
“As we’re selecting our teams, my focus is going to be on people who understand the current system, but are excited about change, because what we’re going to propose hasn’t been done before by the Air and Space Forces and can affect the entire enterprise,” Brown said. “So we’re looking for people who are ready to get after these solutions.”
The target team members are lieutenants through majors, GS-11 through GS-13, and technical sergeants through senior master sergeants, who are actively working in or have recent experience with the associated topic.
I-WEPTAC is an annual event that examines fundamental installation and mission support challenges to identify deficiencies, shortfalls and developmental gaps that limit the Air Force’s and Space Force’s ability to execute and operate efficiently. MAWGs develop executable courses of action for their topics and recommend solutions to senior leaders during their final out-briefs. MAWGs will present out-briefs virtually April 4-7.
