AWS Inc. P/N 52769 Protective Vest (aka 'Direct Action Trauma' Body Armor)

Iconic Body Armor System of the 1998-2002 period, famously used by 1st SFOD-D (Delta Force), SFG/Green Berets, and others.

A combined evolution of the older T.G. Faust NATO SF and Point Blank PBPV Vests and predecessor of the AWS CQB and Paraclete RAV Systems.

This example has several operator-specific modifications:

The Triple M4 Panel is permanently sewn to the vest as a makeshift cummerbund flap (despite a lack of a c-bund)

The original Elastic Panel C-Bund was chopped off and replaced with two straps of heavy suspender elastic with side release buckles

Webbing loops were added on the shoulder for cable routing purposes

Very scarce piece of equipment that I'm happy to own.

AWS Inc. 65304 'SCBA Blower Cover', Woodland Camo

Seen in a famous ref pic of CAG during CBRN Training c.2002-2004, haphazardly mounted with cable ties to a Paraclete RAV Zip-Off MOLLE Panel , as these were presumably intended to be mounted to an SCBA Bottle Cover originally.

Been hunting for one of these for ages, and the last piece of the CAG CBRN puzzle is now in place.

^The aforementioned reference.

^Some RAV's were even occasionally modded with buckles to accommodate these blower pouches, as seen in this photo.
