United States Army OCP MOLLE II Tactical Assault Panel System (TAPs)

Tap in for the that tactical pack

This thing is crazy! With nearly unlimited modularity, and a unique look, this magazine carrier system works both with or without a plate carrier. The United States Military MT Tactical Assault Panel (TAP) was introduced to replace the FLC Vest fielded prior, as a more useful and faster fighting rig, prioritizing quick-release attachment in emergency scenarios where operators may need to equip or discard their gear rapidly. The Tactical Assault Panel can be worn as a standalone chest rig, independent of body armour, being used as a webbing harness similar to the prior fielded Ranger Assault Carrying Kit (RACK).

Nonetheless, it was built to be integrated with other equipment fielded by the United States Marine Corps the time of development including:

• The Improved Outer Tactical Vest (IOTV),

• Releasable Body Armor Vest (RBAV)

• Modular Body Armor Vest (MBAV)

The TAP is a truly unique addition to any weekend warrior or woodland operator’s arsenal, as an example of the pinnacle of tactical equipment modularity.

OCP (OPERATIONAL CAMOUFLAGE PATTERN)

After many years of service by the United States Military, (UCP) Universal Camouflage Pattern was (finally) deemed inadequate for the camouflage needs of the United States. Faced with many fronts of combat of varying camouflage and realizing UCP was not the answer, the United States Army Camouflage Improvement Effort considered multiple replacements. Of these the Operational Camouflage Pattern (OCP), was one of the selected camouflage patterns. It was adopted officially in 2015 and phasing out UCP in full by 2021. Originally under the code name of Scorpion W2 it was actually an unused older design created by state sponsored Natick Labs in Collaboration Crye Precision as part of a program known as Objective Force Warrior.

Field Notes/Misty Supply Musings/Potential Uses/Trivia

• Genuinely this thing is like if the AR15 and the Chicom rig had a love child, the modularity on this is mind blowing!

• The TAP rig is probably one of the nicest, if not the nicest, surplus chest rig to ever hit the market. Modularity and durability without the multi-hundred dollar price tag.

• If you’re an AK guy, cut off the nylon closures and add your own bungies and BOOM, AK mags will work!
