Lamb said: “A Silver Star doesn’t — it’s not going to bring Jon back. It’s not going to change anything. He’s still the same awesome man that I respected all those years. But if you want to really get down to the nitty-gritty, it’s just kind of sad, you know?”
Kyle now owns and operates Viking Tactics, Inc.
Kyle Lamb from Viking Tactics has helped many manufacturers with their product design based on his prior SOF military experience and outdoor field testing.
An alliance between
5.11 Tactical Series® and Viking Tactics, Inc. launched in fall 2007.
has resulted in the full line of field-tested products includes slings, backpacks, rifle cases and pouches designed by Special Operations Combat Veteran Kyle E. Lamb, owner of Viking Tactics.
Such is the case with the
5.11 Rush Series of backpacks.
Lamb notes:
"I've used VTAC slings on every deployment to Iraq. These slings allowed me to quickly adjust for fast-rope operations, climb over walls, increase the stability of a shooting position and ensure safe weapon retention."
"If you need a well-built pack that is organized and stable, this is the one to carry," Lamb says about
RUSH72, a rugged 72-hour backpack.
"We've received great feedback from Law Enforcement professionals and soldiers alike. Tactical operators can quickly organize and access needed gear during hours of limited visibility. Also, the pack's compression capability helps secure one's gear during prolonged movement without excess shifting of the load."
"It's designed by a shooter for other shooters," Lamb says.
"No matter their level of expertise, these individuals deserve great gear at a fair price. This gear meets that need."
