A MESSAGE FROM THE COMMANDANT OF THE MARINE CORPS United States Marines represent the best young men and women our Nation has to offer. To be a Marine is to be a member of America’s warrior class — to be one of the few who steps forward with the courage and conviction to face whatever dangers...

I would assume that if any of their products which are specified for this tender have any associated applicable patents, or other such intellectual property, then some sort of license/royalty arrangement would have to be made by the bidder/contractor.

If you read the tender document, it states that no deviations or variances will be tolerated from the design characteristics of the articles specified.  Meaning that if you were to bid on the System A (SORD SCS fronts and back and pouches), System B (Tactical Tailor stuff), System C (SORD Chest...

Whilst the tender does allow for substitutes instead of name brand products, the substitutes must have meet the essential technical design specifications as outlined in the tender.  Seeing as how SORD uses a propriety variation on the PALS system which is patented, and that this unique system is...

Hatchet Man, or anyone else with access to that CANLANGEN, could you post either a link to a pdf copy of it, or cut & paste the entire message on here? Thanks, Matt

Tender for 'Modular Fighting Rigs' went up on the MERX today:  http://www.merx.com/English/SUPPLIER_Menu.Asp?WCE=Show&TAB=1&PORTAL=MERX&State=7&searchtype=category&id=PW-%24%24PR-707-47605&src=osr&FED_ONLY=0&ACTION=&rowcount=&lastpage=&hcode=8e1PFuN%2bfujQcd%2fA%2fAMabg%3d%3d PWGSC is...

Just wanted to throw this out there for discussion. With the adoption of CADPAT TW and CADPAT AR, OD accessories and gear seem to be less and less popular, however the generic colour that most guys are buying aftermarket kit for Afghanistan tours is Coyote Brown. Is Coyote Brown in essence the...

I believe that we've got 2 pair of black M9s left in either really small, or really huge sizes.  I can't say why they got discontinued, but I'd venture to guess that with all branches of the US military moving away from black full grain leather, Bates main market for black boots is law...

School of Infantry for CAP and other phase training courses is pretty liberal for non-issued footwear, as we sell a large volume of SWATs to candidates.  That said, the one style of boot that is not generally allowed here in Gagetown (at least for 3ASG and most of the schools) are anything...

Rumour mill is that nothing has shown up on the MERX yet, so the timeframe for TF 1-10 getting anything before they head overseas is getting pretty tight. For anybody unfamiliar with government contracting, here's a primer and a possible timeline for how the trial kit may be distributed to TF...

I've seen some of the CEFCOM CP guys with Blackhawk Plate Carriers, and there was a tender out a month or so ago on the MERX for a bunch of MSA Paraclete stuff, including the SOHPC plate carrier going to DHTC.

We had great reports back from customers that have purchased the M9 Assault Boots from us, unfortunately though, Bates has discontinued this model, and replaced it with a side zip version which here in Gagetown the guys get alot of grief for wearing. Another option for waterproof footwear is to...

I'm looking for the logo/emblem of the Op Podium task force, if one exists? Thanks, Matt

SpecOps Brand Over Armor Vest was not in the load carriage working group, and was not one of the platforms identified for the Operational Evaluation that TF 1-10 is supposed to be starting.

And isn't it ironic that 2RCR is less than a 10 minute drive away from where a good chunk of the aftermarket kit used by the CFs is manufactured...  ;)

...Interesting observations.  Re: Internalspace, I've had no problems with the EMR, and must say that almost the opposite is true, in that because the thing iso massive, I've had a tendency to overload it.  Which Kifaru model were you using and comparing to which Arc'Teryx and Lowe rucks? Re: ...

Thanks for the kind words.  Whilst Kifaru is a great manufacturer (I own an EMR and Scout from when I was in the Marines...both privately purchased), I'll just offer out that generally you get what you pay for.  Also, bear in mind that if you get a base model Kifaru, you'll likely want a few...

Re: Parades.  This is why troops are issued DEUs, a uniform that is intended to be exactly that... provide a 'Distinct Environmental Uniform' image of the military.

And those are very important points which a prospective unit CO or RSM may be having to carefully consider when evaluating their candidacy for such a position.  2-3 years of frequent travel on weekends to visit the sub-units under his/her command while potentially having an adverse affect on...
