We often see tactics as a means to get from a tight situation. But, this craft also includes not getting into such a situation in the first place. Good communication and positioning between soldiers, teams, and officers are critical for this. Here is where your radio pouches and GPS pouches come in, to make every soldier certain that they are in the right place and doing the right thing for the team. This development is relatively new because communication devices only recently became portable enough that it became a good idea to make every single man on the team a com’s officer, especially in a pedestrian army.  There are a couple of seemingly contradictory requirements for a good tactical radio and GPS pouch:
  • Accessible but not obstructing
  • Firm but not blocking radio waves
  • Contents should be tight in place but easy to get out
These requirements are not as hard to obtain for a professional tactical gear manufacturer but might be tricky if you are trying to wing it. It is generally better to buy good GPS and radio pouches than to use other pouches or pockets to house this equipment. Also, the price for both is fairly affordable considering all the other gear. And this is something all soldiers will be using regularly. For most domestic situations, a dedicated GPS pouch is not needed as both functions can be done with a smartphone. But, if you may exit the grid you will want a radio in addition to your smartphone.

What Makes the Radio Pouch Different?

In many ways, a radio pouch is similar to a grenade pouch in what it needs to do. Apart from only housing the radio, which is now quite small, it needs to hold it in place while it is not in use. If everything goes to plan, a soldier will not need to speak a lot, but mostly listen. But, if there is an issue, you want your comms as close to your mouth and ears as possible. This is why most teams opt to wear their radio on the clavicle or high up on the chest. This way, you can quickly press the button to send a message and return your hands back to where they are needed the most.

GPS Location and Beacon

Global Positioning System Technology is quite fascinating on its own. There is a cube the size of a truck orbiting our Planet at ~12.5 thousand miles above ground that can tell our little box exactly where it is. And there are 24 of these just for that single purpose. Your pouch needs to serve two purposes for the GPS to be used to the fullest. Primarily, you want it to be securely in place and connected to your individual gear. It shouldn’t be on the backpack but on your person in cases where you need to activate the rescue beacon. Secondly, you want to be able to take the GPS in and out of the pouch easily. This usually doesn’t need to be at a moment’s notice, but shouldn’t take a lot of fidgeting or risk breaking the device.

What is the Best Radio Pouch?

You always want a MOLLE attachment for overt military uses and at least Velcro® for domestic patrols and everyday use. As the positioning of the radio is very important, this feature should be non-negotiable.   Second, the radio inside the pouch should always stay firmly in place and not wiggle inside the pouch. Movement can mess with the buttons and settings, so it should be avoided. Some sort of restriction, bend, or a similar thing is needed. Finally, you should be able to pull out your radio quickly and easily when you need it. If all three points are up to your requirement, it will be a good pouch for you.

What is the Best GPS Pouch?

The main issue for a GPS pouch is that the device stands firmly within. Usually, this means that the GPS pouch looks more like a bag than an open pouch, with just an opening for the antennae on the top. The type of connection to the rest of the gear is a close second, as you don’t want it to flap and get loose. Depending on the size of the GPS device, you may need to have PALS straps to connect it to MOLLE webbing. Finally, it needs to be resistant to heat, cold, and moisture similar to other pouches for electronics. Modern GPS devices are not as fragile as they were and many manufacturers make them even be waterproof, but that doesn’t mean that you should expose it to more wear and tear than you must.
