Short Bark Industries, Inc. was pleased to host the U.S. Marine Corps on October 19, 2011 for a post-award conference on the Tier 2 Protective Outer Garment (POG)...
Tier II POST Award...
Originally developed by Hawk Protection Ltd, a Northern Ireland company, in association with the British Ministry of Defense, the Tier 2 POG provides additional ballistic protection against Improvised Explosive Devices (IEDs) in the groin and femoral artery areas. Both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines stationed in Afghanistan became aware of this added protection through their interactions with British forces. Initial purchases for the Tier 2 were done straight from theater; however both the U.S. Army and U.S. Marines then solicited for Berry compliant (Made in the U.S.A.) systems during late summer 2011. Hawk Protection Inc. (the U.S. affiliate for Hawk Protection Ltd) teamed with Short Bark Industries teamed and Ibiley Manufacturing to offer Tier 2 to both services. Having offered the best solution which was also battlefield tested Hawk Inc was awarded the contracts for both services with Ibiley Manufacturing providing the ballistics and Short Bark Industries manufacturing the carriers.
