Homeland Security Group International Receives Pyro Bag Orders, Unveils New Designs
Combat Casualty Care TC3V1 Becomes Standard Carry Bag for US Army Combat Lifesaver Bag System
DEL MAR, CA, Apr 24, 2006 (MARKET WIRE via COMTEX) -- Homeland Security Group International (OTC: HMSG) announced today that its Products Division has received new orders for the Combat Utility Bag (CUB-V1 Pyro) from military units operating in the area of Falluja, Iraq.
The company also announced that in conjunction with its joint venture partner, Recon Mountaineer LLC (RM), HMSG has unveiled three new versions of the bag with one designed as a Tactical Escape and Evasion Equipment bag. The newest versions of the Combat Trauma and Combat Utility Bags will be available for viewing soon on the Homeland Security Group website at: hstinc.us.
"We have also received substantial interest for the CUB from east coast Marine Expeditionary Units preparing to deploy to the Persian Gulf in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom (OIF) and the continued global war on terrorism," commented Colonel Jeffrey Powers USMC (Ret), CEO of Homeland Security Group International. "The Army and Marine Corps and the Defense Logistics Agency are driving the design of the bag and as soon as the orders arrive, we manufacture, pack and ship these bags to military units worldwide. Our turnaround time on orders has been as little as fifteen days for 1,000-unit orders. Our design team continues to receive constant positive feedback on the performance of our bags and we have quickly adapted newer versions based on customer comments and requests."
The company said that this aggressive design adaptation philosophy has contributed to the US Army Medical Material Agency recently issuing a directive adopting the Combat Casualty Care TC3V1 (NSN 6545015370686) as the standard major component of the new Combat Lifesaver Bag system being issued to all US Army Medics replacing the currently carried bag.
"We are extremely proud that the US Army has chosen our bag as the backbone for their improved casualty care system," continued Powers. "We have instructed our joint venture partner RM to liaison with the manufacturer and ensure we are readily able to fulfill orders for the bag in order to get this essential equipment into the hands of lifesavers worldwide."
