MDM – Forward Solutions LLC

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

Forward Solutions LLC was founded by two Marine EOD Wounded Warriors who are giving back to the community in more ways than one. They’ve got whole slew of cool guy kit but the latest product to come out is the Blast Training Model (BTM1). Available in multiple sizes from small IEDs to devices designed to take out vehicles, the heart of the BMT1 is a new patented binary compound that produces lots of noise but little blast effect.

As you can see it can be configured in a plastic jug to simulate threat profiles but other packaging is available based on client requirements.

The concept was to create the signature of an IED without the dangers associated with more traditional materials. Furthermore, EOD wanted a training compound that was adaptable to multiple initiation systems and packaging.

MDM – High Ground

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

High Ground unveiled their new HG831 Pack. It’s a natural progression of the HG830 Frame which has been very popular with JTACs and other personnel who like to use its PALS field to configure their equipment for specific missions. The JTAC community came to High Ground looking for a means to adapt a pack to the frame for multi-day missions.

High Ground’s answer is the HG831 which integrates their 3-Day Pack Bag unto the frame. It retains PALS compatibility for mission equipment such as radios but adds the versatility of a compartmented 3-Day bag riding piggy back.

MDM – Learn About Ironlace

Tuesday, September 25th, 2012

A few months ago the owner of Unleashed Tactical Equipment linked me up with the Canadian brand, Ironlace. It’s a bootlace brand. I know it sounds mundane, but broken laces suck. Sure, you can use 550 cord but even they don’t offer these features. In addition to 1600 lbs of tension, Ironlace is virtually chemical proof, UV ray resistant, water proof, abrasion resistant, and heat resistant up to 630 deg F.

They offer laces in 33″, 45″, 54″, 63″, 72″, 84″, 96″, and 108″ in both Black and Brown. However, for military personnel, the 72″ model seems to be the most popular and they are also available in Olive Mojave.

Be sure to see them with Provengo, their exclusive US distributor, in booth #3056. Provengo will not only be giving demo’s but they will also be giving out 100 pairs of Ironlace Olive Mojave 72” boot laces to Devil Dogs attending the event!
