#HighThreatConcealment

This week I am taking Law Enforcement Protective Operations with Alexander Global Strategies (AGS). The Alliance Police Range is hosting AGS in Alliance, OH. While I enjoy a good rifle or CQB course, protection courses can also be extremely beneficial. Whether going to the mall with our family or taking our significant other on a trip out of state, having an understanding of the skills protection agents utilize can enhance our planning and awareness. This is a 5 day course with a full day training scenario on the last day.

On June 8th High Threat Concealment (HTC) sent out an email announcing that OM Operations LLC, a Texas-based company, purchased HTC. High Threat Concealment is well known for their low profile gear and has served professionals working in close protection and low visibility operations. Their developments and continued innovation are the result of real-world experience and have provided some of the finest low profile systems used by many agencies and military personnel worldwide.

I will be attending TNVC’s Night Fighter: Armed Professional at the Alliance Police Training Facility. This course is designed to increase the student’s night vision skillsets during real world operations. The course will be a combination of some live fire and some simunition engagements with evolutions covering team movement, communication, movement to target, stealth search and contact, target discrimination, vehicles, and CBRN integration. The course is for armed professionals who already possess a basic understanding of low-light/ no-light operation and is a restricted course for active duty Military, Law Enforcement, Security Personnel, and highly vetted civilians.

High Threat Concealment announced the company is now shipping its  Low Vis Battle Belt. This padded waist belt is covered with PALS webbing to attach all sorts of gear including a pistol holster, magazine pouches and more. According to the company, this belt “weighs less, rides closer and packs neater than conventional battle belts.”

High Threat Concealment (HTC) collaborated with Troy Industries to make a conceal carry rig for the Troy PDW. If you look closely, the M7A1 stock is attached to a sling that runs under the shirt. The HTC rig holds the AR magazine. The design of the M7A1 stock allows the shooter to release the stock with the firing hand on fire control. With the stock retained by the sling, it is deployed as the shooter draws the PDW down and out of the HTC rig. This would be perfect for executive protection details. They should try making a rig to conceal the PDW with a Magpul 60.
