Olive Arrow Tactical

Mines and improvised explosive devices (IEDs) are economic, stealthy, and persistent. They allow a weaker force to lock down key terrain, channel enemy movement, and inflict casualties far beyond their nominal weight and size. They leverage shock value and a target’s psychological vulnerability. An IED that costs a few dollars can disable a vehicle worth hundreds of thousands or kill a soldier wearing tens of thousands in protective gear. More importantly, every successful detonation forces the enemy to slow down, invest more resources in countermeasures, and potentially erode public support back home. The IED has become the ultimate asymmetric weapon - one that imposes disproportionate costs on advanced armies.

Forested terrain is a fighter’s best ally. Equip yourself with the right essentials - firestarters, waterproofing, medical kits, and more - to survive and stay operational in the most hostile wooded environments.
