Force protection - Operation PRESENCE Mali

This week in our Mali video series, Private Kuzyk walks us through the kit that enables him to protect himself and fellow CAF members deployed to #OpPRESENCE-Mali.

Canadian army needs to upgrade that body armour

The Franco’s that speak perfect English spook me, you never know who’s French.

Wearing a flak vest with a load-bearing vest over it in 50C weather sounds really blowy.
Someone get this man a plate carrier with MOLLE webbing.

Canada should look into the VIRTUS kit we brits use. Im out of the army now but when I got the upgrade from our older stuff which was similar to this, to VIRTUS, it was game changing.

Great respect for Canadian Forces and army. Such professional Soldiers.

Thanks for the hospitality as an army LTC (LCol) from the States (past equivalent SSG, CF SGT).

I would be honored if I ever had to fight 'back to back.' Top notch. Water; my gallons? 😋

CADPAT arid & MARPAT desert are so very identical in their colour patterns. BUT Marines had to get Canada’s permission to enact the MARPAT design. 2 very well trained militaries. 🇨🇦⚔️🇺🇸
