WHY M.O.L.L.E.?

WHY M.O.L.L.E.?
Modular Lightweight Load-carrying Equipment or M.O.L.L.E. (pronounced 'Molly') is the latest innovation in tactical gear and is currently being used by military forces, police units, private contractors, and civilians all over the world. The term M.O.L.L.E. was first coined by Specialty Defense Systems but is also used interchangeably to describe all load bearing systems that use a Pouch Attachment Ladder System, or P.A.L.S. for short. A P.A.L.S. grid consists of horizontal rows of 1" webbing with stitched columns spaced 1.5" apart. The M.O.L.L.E. system works by weaving the straps of pouches through the webbing of a rig. A properly woven M.O.L.L.E. pouch MOLLE Vest secures tightly to the rig, but still allows the user to move or remove the pouch to meet different mission needs. The M. O. L.L.E. system was first introduced in 1997 but did not see widespread use until 2001 when it was issued to American troops serving in the Middle East.

M.O.L.L.E.'s biggest advantage is modularity and ease of use. M.O.L.L.E. offers the user the ability to set up their rig to their specifications, unlike a dedicated pouch system that you would normally find on older style tactical gear. When you purchase a MOLLE style rig the first thing you will notice is the webbing that runs all over the body of the rig. This offers the user the ability to mount and remove pouches to meet their current operational needs. You can change a 3 day load out to - a simple run and gun set up on the same M.O.L.L.E. rig by quickly removing or adding pouches.

M.O.L.L.E. is the latest, and best, innovation in tactical gear. It has changed the way units tactics are performed and allows the user a customized set up. M.O.L.L.E. can be adapted to any mission specifications, which is why it has become the preferred tactical gear system for the United States Military.

Kyle Lamb, Sergeant Major (retired), 21-year United States Army Veteran, with 17 years of that time in the 1st SFOD-D Delta Force.

He has participated in missions such as Desert Storm, Iraq, Bosnia and the famous battle in Mogadishu, Somalia served as part of Operation Gothic Serpent, Task Force Ranger included units from the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment, the 75th Ranger Regiment, the Army’s Special Operations Command, and the 10th Mountain Division.
This is portrayed in the 2001 Academy Award winning film Black Hawk Down (IMDb).
In July 2021, awarded medal Silver Star for the Battle of Mogadishu.
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.


5.11 tactical logo
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."
