Army Post Medium Ruck Pics

Posted: 08 Nov 2010 12:52 PM PST

Just posted on the PEO Soldier Flikr site are some cool pics of the new medium ruck now headed to Joes in Afghanistan. This pack — with its not quote full-sized, not quite assault-sized carrying capacity — will certainly come in handy as the temps decline with the onset of the Afghan winter. There’ll be a lot more room to stuff extra layers and food for those short OP trips.

I’m still intrigued with the external frame decision, but as the pics show, this could be a great benefit for Soldiers wearing this over body armor since it looks as if the plate could fit snugly right in between the side stays.

Anyone who has any experience with this pack please let us know what you think…

MultiCam Integrated Tourniquet System from Blackhawk!

Blackhawk’s Integrated Tourniquet System is been around for at least three years, but the company keeps updating the technology with better materials, easier manipulation and, more importantly, designing the High Performance Fighting Uniform with new camouflage patterns beyond the desert digital/AOR 1 the SEALS down in VaBeach wanted.

Now thw HPFU is made in olive drab, black and multicam as well. Ward and I took a set of HPFUs to Afghanistan courtesy of Blackhawk during out embed, and I have to tell you, it was the best set of threads I’ve ever worn on an embed.

Well, our multimedia czar Glenn Anderson caught up with the folks from Blackhawk during the Association of the US Army show a couple weeks ago and got the updated scoop on the ITS system offered in the HPFU in MultiCam.
