Operationally tested and fielded to USSOCM unitsand Norwegian SOF.This is a product that Bloodstone members designed starting in 2010.With the help from Pelican BioThermal, COL Miles, COL Strandenes, Dr B. Blankenship, and a year of running the first containers in my pack in Tampa, FL we were able to validate the performance of this new product.
