ADS, Inc. draws products from over 3,000 manufacturers in over 125,000 square feet of storage for kitting and assembly of GEN III ECWCS, Escalation of Force Kits, and Marine Individual Assault Kits, among others.

A Proven Track Record
From supply chain management, kitting and assembly to warehousing and inventory management, ADS has a proven track record providing innovative logistics support. ADS is the primary logistics and equipment resource for many of the U.S. Military’s equipment and clothing programs.
GEN III ECWCS | The U.S. Army Extended Climate Warfighter Clothing System
ADS is currently under contract with the U.S. Army to source and integrate GEN III ECWCS.
As the lead integrator, ADS utilizes our unparalleled product expertise and cutting edge distribution operations to lead a team of over ten U.S. technical garment manufacturers and technical textile companies to produce and supply the versatile 7-layer, 12-component system. The only official GEN III ECWCS authorized for U.S. Army Issue is available exclusively through ADS.
GEN III ECWCS is a radical re-design of previous generation ECWCS for the U.S. Army. No longer just a Cold Weather Clothing System, the third generation ECWCS has been transformed into an Extended Climate Warfigher Clothing System that enhances soldier survivability across broad climate ranges.
FREE | The U.S. Army Fire Resistant Environmental Ensemble
ADS is currently under contract with the U.S. Army to source and integrate FREE.
As the lead integrator, ADS utilizes our unparalleled product expertise and cutting edge distribution operations to lead a team of over ten U.S. technical garment manufacturers and technical textile companies to produce and supply the versatile, multi-layer, 16-component system.
FREE provides the Army soldier with built-in protection from flame and heat threats present in combat conditions, while remaining highly functional in a spectrum of cold and wet weather climates. The FREE system is user-adaptable for field operations in rapidly evolving combat environments and protects the soldier from head to toe. It is designed specifically for aviation and combat vehicle crewmen, and utilizes advanced textile technologies in a range of garments, from lightweight base layers to weather-protecting outerwear.
EOF | Escalation of Force Kits
ADS worked with the Rapid Equipping Force (REF) to bring the critical EOF components together and provide just-in-time support for this kit. All of the items were approved for acquisition through the DLA supported Prime Vendor program, then kitted and warehoused at ADS. ADS continues to provide technological, procurement and logistics support for this requirement as Escalation of Force evolves.
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. This kit was 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 Humvees.
MARCORSYSCOM MIAK | Marine Individual Assault Kit
ADS assisted with the design and integration of the initial version of MIAK kits in 2004. This kit includes more than 75 items and is currently provided by ADS under the NSN number.
ADS is the primary source of supply for the MIAK, a specialty Close Quarter Battle Equipment (CQBE) kit for U.S. Marine Corps Reconnaissance Battalions, Force Reconnaissance Companies, Radio Reconnaissance Platoons, and Special Operations Battalions. The MIAK and its subcomponents have been extensively field-tested by Fleet Marine Force as well as various elements of U.S. Special Operations Command and are approved for MARCORSYSCOM.
MACK | Modern Army Combatives Kit
ADS worked with the U.S. Army to develop Berry Complaint sources for all of the items in the MACK and integrate them into a brigade level kit to be issued to the entire field.
The MACK is used primarily as a Modern Army Combatives Program (MACP) Level III and IV course training component. The MACK provides real-time, tactile feedback during close quarters combat (CQC) and close quarters battle (CQB) training scenarios. The MACK utilizes protective personal equipment (PPE), striking gear, and training weapons in various CQC and CQB individual and squad training scenarios. The MACK allows users to safely replicate combatives training events that contribute to increased combat effectiveness in Army defined scenarios.
VBSS | U.S. Navy Visit Board Search and Seizure
ADS is the first company to consolidate the VBSS AEL for the U.S. Navy and provide all items to all fleet vessels. ADS has provided these items under multiple contracts works closely with the U.S. Navy to research, develop and provide equipment on the VBSS AEL.
