Ah certo, non fa parte dei 50 stati ma dipende dagli usa.
portorico è un protettorato americano
ricordate questo famoso file che abbiamo (o almeno io) usato come bibbia in quest'ultimo periodo?
Ci diceva le tasche issued nella fanteria, beh oggi per caso ho trovato quest'altro file in particolare questo passaggio:
Non vengono più nominate le tasche 9mm, smoke, pop flare, 40mm e shotgun 12rd. Che le abbiano tolte? Ma soprattutto quella benedetta tasca 40mm è mai esistita? Il mistero continua.... :DQuote:
The ILBE Pack System consists of three main components;
1) Main Pack 5,500 in3
2) Assault pack 1,500 in3
3) 100 oz hydration system
Additional components:
1) Three M16/M4 Magazine pouches
2) Two M67 grenade pouches
3) One M16/M4 speed reload pouch
Altra news. I marines nel 2012 cambieranno i guanti del sistema frog:

La tasca della 40mm secondo me esiste ed è prodotta dalla aites, su ebay ce ne sono diverse.
RFI Issued for USMC Corpsman Assault PackQuote:
The Marine Corps has issued a Request for Information from industry for a USMC Corpsman Assault Pack to possible be manufactured sometime in 2012-2013.
Like all contracts Marine, the timeline is aggressive. A total of 10,000 complete USMC Corpsman Assault Systems at a rate of 1,000 complete USMC Corpsman Assault Systems delivered NLT 60 calendar days post First Article Test (FAT) approval and a sustained rate of 2,500 complete USMC Corpsman Assault Systems per month with delivery beginning NLT 90 day calendar days post FAT approval.
According to the RFI, the USMC Corpsman Assault System includes the following:
Qty Item
(1) Corpsman Assault Pack (22″ x 14″ x 4″) similar to the USMC Assault Pack
(18) Medical Inserts of varying dimensions to be mounted inside of the Corpsman Assault Pack
(1) Sustainment bag (20″ x 14″ x 4″)
(1) Trauma pouch similar to USMC combat trauma bag, NSN 8465-01-571-5231
(1) Thigh rig similar to the Advanced Life Support (ALS) leg kit, NSN 6515-01-531-6535
Like the new Marine Corps Pack System (originally called FILBE), it looks to be a Government owned design. They aren’t looking for industry’s good ideas. They’ve already seen those at trade shows and site visits. Instead, they’re looking for companies to tell them how they’ll build them and for how much.
Bravo to the Marines for updating the Corpsman pack. However, RFIs like this don’t make much sense, at least for their intended purpose. They’re still building Marine Corps Pack System and know what is out there manufacturing-wise and what it costs. All it serves to do is to cost a company money to answer the RFI. And, the RFI even admits:
“THE SUBMISSION OF THIS INFORMATION IS FOR PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND IS NOT TO BE CONSTRUED AS A COMMITMENT BY THE GOVERNMENT TO PROCURE ANY ITEMS/SERVICES, NOR FOR THE GOVERNMENT TO PAY FOR THE INFORMATION RECEIVED. NO SOLICITATION DOCUMENT EXISTS.”
Rather, look at this as a warning order that something is coming down the pipe. Interested companies have until 1 December. Good luck!

Modular Armor System (MAS)
Marine Corps Systems Command (MARCORSYSCOM) is conducting market research, and identifying potential sources and best practice information towards designing, developing, and procuring a Modular Armor System. The system will allow the individual Marine to configure and tailor the armor level based on mission requirements.
The United States Marine Corps (USMC) envisions at this time a single system that will be capable of providing the area of coverage of the current USMC Plate Carrier and expanding to a soft armor area of coverage equal to the USMC Improved Modular Tactical Vest (IMTV) with the Pelvic Protective System Protective Overgarment (POG). The system will be able to provide supplemental armor protection to the extremities.
The envisioned system will either integrate with current hard armor ballistic plates or a new hard armor plate design. There are no constraints on symmetry or materiel for soft and hard armor. Hard Armor threat defeat capability equal to that of the XSAPI is required with a desired maximum allowable areal density of 7.0 pounds per square foot. The soft armor performance within the torso and extremity regions is required to possess performance equal to the OTV CO-PD-00-2G with a desired maximum allowable areal density of .85 pounds per square foot. The carrier will possess the Pouch Attachment Ladder System (PALS) webbing for the mounting of modular pouches, have a single pull emergency release located on the center of the vest below the neckline and integrate with the USMC Chest Rig without impeding the quick release of the carrier.
The desired system will not exceed the cumulative weight of the IMTV with torso and flank plates. This suite will enable the individual Marine to configure components to best meet specific mission requirements by optimizing/balancing human factors engineering (e.g. comfort and usability), integration with fielded Load Carriage Equipment (LCE) and cost (production and maintenance).
Berry Amendment compliance will apply to any and all demonstrated designs. A limited quantity (i.e. up to 30) of evaluation systems may be requested under a bailment agreement to support user evaluation activities based on market research results. No user evaluations are planned prior to June 2012.
The USMC is currently performing market research to learn applicable/proven best practices (note: the Modular Armor System’s attributes have not yet been finalized).
Within that effort, the USMC wants to leverage its expertise in USMC operational needs and related constraints with industries’ established expertise and capabilities to design and develop best value solutions. Therefore, the USMC is taking the following market research step and requesting information from interested companies on: (1) best approaches to satisfy the above needs with a completely new, innovative solution, (2) reviewing industry capabilities to satisfy the above needs with an updated solution that includes reuse of in-service components (i.e. plates, soft armor) of fielded system.
Interested parties shall furnish the Program Management Office (PMO) with written or electronic materials concerning their capability to address the above requirements.
stay tuned per nuovi aggiornamenti.
Sperando di non arrivare in ritardo come al solito (è roba di ottobre ma non mi pare di aver visto niente ancora nella sezione) posto 2 Video:
Il primo riguarda il tanto famigerato nuovo BA per i Grunts, a quanto pare denominato IMTV, che qui viene mostrato chiaramente:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SiAA...feature=relmfu
Il secondo è una novità a livello 'disciplinare'.. e a giudicare dai voti e dai commenti non è stata presa molto bene :)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nR-c5KtD1VE&feature=g-vrec&context=G287b1d9RVAAAAAAAAAg
insieme al nuovo IMTV dovrebbero distribuire anche un nuovo SPC, se ripesco l' articolo lo posto...
sul secondo video: su un noto sito di satira USMC il commento più benevolo era qualcosa del tipo "that's f***ing retarded!"; quindi no, i Grunts non l' hanno presa bene... :asd:
Per quanto riguarda Portorico, solo per fare il maestrino :P, é una sorta di protettorato USA, solo negli ultimi 20-30 anni? si é andato a formare un governo autonomo, ma per il resto dipende tutto e per tutto dagli Stati Uniti.
Hanno un mercato aperto, se nasci la hai in automatico la cittadinanza statunitense etc. etc. insomma qualcosa di differente rispetto, ad esempio, alle Filippine (anche qua ci sarebbe un discorso lunghissimo da fare).
Comunque tornando in topic: https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/201...ca-30165914/1/
Se me lo son perso me ne scuso, comunque non so se realmente non ne sapevano nulla o se é stato preso come simbolo come sorta di spavalderia durante e dopo la WWII...fatto sta che non migliora l'immagine del corpo.
è gia da tempo che i giornalisti infieriscono con questa storia... io direi che la cosa è gia stata chiarita da tempo. SS sta per scout sniper punto. si sa che poi i giornalisti si divertono a buttare palate di M**** ovunque. l unica cosa che hanno sbagliato questi marines secondo me è stato usare una vera bandiera delle ss naziste. sarebbe bastato far fare una bandiera raffigurante un teschio con 2 M40 incrociati e sotto scritto ss. andare avanti a giudicare questi marines secondo me è sbagliato è da tempo che si usa la sigla ss fatta a mo di saette e nessuno si è mai lamentato. il significato che ha non si riferisce di certo ai nazisti
