"We've been using sandbags forever; I can't believe
it took this long to think of something like this."

Possible Uses
• Camp Guard Posts
• Observation Posts
• VCP/ECP Greeter stations
• Sniper Positions
• Cordon Security
• Police and Military Recruiting Stations
• Election Posts
• Anywhere our personnel will be exposed to enemy sniper fire, IDF, small arms, suicide bombers, and
grenade attacks!
Rapid Deployment
• "Snap VCP's" disturb the movement of weapons throughout the battlefield.
• Coalition forces are completely exposed to enemy fire; McCurdy's Armor™ cures that and
can provide protection in minutes.
• Using the M-105 trailer concept they could have relative security in as little as 7 minutes.

Gun Port
• Current firing positions in sandbag structures are nothing more than an unprotected hole,
making the guards easy targets for snipers.
• McCurdy's Armor's™ gun port provides full protection and situational awareness until the
need to fire arises.
Conserving Resources
• Building a Sandbag post takes many squad hours to build, exposing them for long periods of time,
while draining their much needed energy.
• Hesco barriers require the support of heavy equipment and leave significant damage to infrastructure,
take time and are not redeployable.
• McCurdy's Armor™ provides similar or better protection in a fraction of the time. It takes the effort of
as few as 2 people to set up and is redeployable.
• McCurdy's Armor™ can be removed in minutes and reused over and over again.
• McCurdy's Armor™ leaves no significant infrastructural damage!

McCurdy's Armor™ for Fixed Posts
• Current fixed posts leave openings to return fire; this makes easy work for Enemy Snipers or Mortars.
• Current Posts are rapidly deteriorating from the elements and are in constant need of engineer support.
