Blue Force Gear®, the leader in lightweight load carriage equipment and tactical gear innovation, will exhibit at the ADS Warrior East Exposition, June 24-25, 2026, in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Attendees are invited to visit Booth #1341 to explore the company's latest advancements in mission-critical equipment.

Hosted by Atlantic Diving Supply, Warrior East Expo is one of the premier defense and tactical equipment expositions in the United States, bringing together military personnel, government agencies, law enforcement professionals, and industry leaders to evaluate the latest technologies and equipment supporting today's operational requirements.

Among the products on display will be the recently introduced MARCO HR™, a next-generation chemlight deployment system engineered to modernize low-light marking operations. Purpose-built for military and law enforcement professionals, the patent-pending MARCO HR dramatically reduces the bulk and inefficiencies associated with traditional taped chemlight bundles while increasing deployment speed and operational efficiency.

Constructed from rugged injection-molded nylon, the MARCO HR carries and rapidly deploys thirty 2-inch chemlights in a compact system weighing only 9.6 ounces when fully loaded. Utilizing a palm-actuated mechanical design, the system simultaneously deploys and activates each chemlight instantly, allowing operators to maintain situational awareness without diverting attention to confirm activation.

"Warrior East provides an outstanding opportunity to connect directly with the military, federal, and law enforcement professionals who depend on their equipment every day," said Ashley Burnsed, CEO of Blue Force Gear. "Our mission has always been to design equipment that solves real-world problems while reducing weight and increasing capability. We're excited to showcase the MARCO HR alongside our proven product portfolio and demonstrate how BFG continues to advance tactical equipment for today's operational environments."

In addition to the MARCO HR, BFG will showcase its complete lineup of mission-proven equipment, including its battle-proven weapon slings, load carriage with its Ten-Speed® multi-use pouches, MOLLEminus® platforms, and patented Helium Whisper® attachment system.

Attendees are encouraged to stop by Booth #1341 throughout the exposition to meet with BFG representatives, experience the latest product innovations firsthand, and learn how the company's solutions continue to support the needs of military personnel, law enforcement officers, and first responders worldwide.
