BACKGROUND
Replacing gear manufactured in 2019 will ensure compliance with our seven-year frontline gear rotation policy. This will also ensure an additional three years of use as part of the loaner gear program and for live-fire training gear.
During a recent advanced inspection of our bunker gear, several sets were identified as non-compliant and no longer safe for operational use. To address this critical safety concern and ensure our personnel are adequately protected, we are seeking approval to proceed with the necessary replacement items as outlined in the attached quote.
