>> Hello Kate,
>>
>> We met at the Brooklyn Navy Yard last year. I hosted Senator Gillibrand
>> on a tour of our facility where we design and manufacture equipment for our
>> military personnel.
>>
>> I am reaching out because we have recently encountered a problem that
>> puts Soldiers at undue risk and threatens our business in New York City
>> where we employ just under 200 people.
>>
>>
>>
>> Full disclosure- at the guidance of the Navy Yard I have already reached
>> out to another person from your office (Arelis Hernandez). She has been
>> very helpful so far and and has indicated she will forward our information
>> to the appropriate people and get back to us so I am now just trying to
>> augment her effort and make sure your team is clear on the issue. I
>> apologize in advance if I am breaking a protocol by sending this directly
>> to you, my goal is simply to make sure this critical Soldier survivability
>> issue is not lost in translation.
>>
>>
>>
>> I have attached a quick summary powerpoint and a copy of a memo we
>> recently released to the public regarding this issue.
>>
>>
>>
>> In a nutshell this is what is happening: (feel free to call me anytime
>> if that is quicker)
>>
>> · We invented and own a camouflage pattern called MultiCam®. The
>> Army has spent 10’s of millions of dollars competitively testing Army
>> developed camo patterns against MultiCam® for the last 10 years. MultiCam®
>> has won all these official tests.
>>
>> · In 2010 the Army started issuing uniforms and gear printed in
>> our MultiCam® pattern but only for troops in Afghanistan.
>>
>> · Despite this, the Army’s official camo pattern is still a
>> pattern called “UCP”. UCP has been proven (by the Army) to put Soldiers at
>> significant unnecessary risk since 2006 yet they still issue it.
>>
>> · In 2013 Congress passed a law (Sec 352 of the National Defense
>> Authorization Act for Fiscal year 2014) saying the DOD “…shall eliminate
>> the development and fielding…” of new (non-currently issued) camo patterns
>> unless they will be “…adopted by all Armed Forces.”
>>
>> · In 2013 the Army announced it was moving to (currently issued)
>> MultiCam®, for the entire Army.
>>
>> · Strangely, and apparently illegally, the Army now says it plans
>> to develop its own new (non-currently issued) pattern by copying key
>> aspects MultiCam®.
>>
>> · MultiCam® is combat-proven and it has won all the official Army
>> evaluations of the last 10 years. There is no reason the Army should be
>> wasting more time and money trying to yet again develop another copy of our
>> pattern hoping another decade of testing finds a pattern as good as
>> MultiCam. All this while the Army continues to issue UCP, a pattern that
>> has been proven to put Soldiers at unnecessary risk since 2006.
>>
>>
>>
>> What we are looking for:
>>
>> · Crye Precision would like to ask for your support on behalf of
>> our employees, the tax payers, and most importantly the Soldiers who depend
>> on our camouflage pattern to protect them in combat.
>>
>> · We want to make sure Senior Army leadership has all the facts.
>>
>> · We believe many key aspects of this important issue are being
>> kept from high-level decision makers to further a misguided low-level
>> agenda aimed at replacing our product with an “Army-developed” copy of our
>> product. We believe this agenda puts fictitious cost fears and ego above
>> Soldier safety and we can show an undeniable track record of such
>> unwarranted behavior by the Army. We believe Senior Army leadership will
>> agree with us that MultiCam®, having been proven time and time again to
>> provide the Solder a significant and undeniable life-saving advantage in
>> combat, should be adopted Army-wide… if they knew the facts.
