Escalation of Force kits were developed to compliment rules of engagement to avoid unnecessary military and civilian deaths at home and abroad. ADS, Inc. worked with Rapid Equipping Force to bring various parts together for these kits. All have been approved for acquisition through the Defense Logistics Agency-supported Special Operational Equipment TLS Contract and are kitted and warehoused through ADS. These kits are geared toward soldiers exposed at check points or riding in vehicles. The Traffic Control Point kit is designed for military police Escalation of Force, while Convoy kits are for protecting soldiers in vehicles.

EOF | Escalation of Force Kits
Escalation of Force (EOF), was developed as a U.S. rule of engagement in an effort to avoid unnecessary civilian and U.S. Military casualties at home and abroad.
One of the greatest threats U.S. forces face in theater are insurgent suicide attacks. These kits were developed to execute the rules of engagement pertaining to Escalation of Force to protect soldiers that are exposed as they stand watch at check points or ride through country in their vehicles.
ADS worked with the Rapid Equipping Force (REF) to bring the critical EOF components together and provide just-in-time support for these kits. All EOF Kit items are approved for acquisition through the Defense Logistics Agency (DLA) supported Special Operational Equipment TLS Contract (formerly Prime Vendor) and are kitted and warehoused at ADS. ADS continues to provide technological, procurment and logistics support for this requirement as Escalation of Force evolves.
ADS EOF KITS are divided into two different types – Traffic Control Point(TCP) Kits and Convoy Kits
Both the EOF TCP and Convoy Kits are available in three separate configurations based on customer requirements:
EOF Traffic Control Point (TCP) Kits
A traffic control point (TCP) is a designated spot on the ground, on a road network or in a static garrison-type environment where Military Police (or other designated units) control the traffic flow. The three goals in point control of traffic are orderly movement of traffic in accordance with traffic control plans, no unnecessary traffic delays and minimum essential control methods. These goals should be accomplished with maximum use of traffic control devices, relieving MP’s of this duty when possible.
EOF Convoy Kits
In addition to the TCP Kits, Convoy Kits were developed as part of the EOF Kits to protect soldiers as they ride through country in their vehicles.
