Blue Force Gear (“BFG”), the industry leader in lightweight load carriage and tactical equipment innovation, today announced the release of the MARCO HR, a next generation chemlight deployment system engineered to modernize low light marking operations for professional end users.
Purpose built for military and law enforcement professionals operating in demanding environments, the patent pending MARCO HR dramatically reduces the bulk, weight, and inefficiencies associated with traditional taped chemlight bundles while increasing deployment speed and operational efficiency.
Constructed from rugged injection molded nylon, the MARCO HR carries and rapidly deploys thirty 2-inch chemlights in one compact system weighing only 9.6 ounces loaded. Traditional taped chemlight bundles can weigh nearly two pounds once assembled, adding unnecessary bulk to already demanding loadouts.
Using a palm-actuated mechanical design, the MARCO HR simultaneously deploys and activates each chemlight instantly without additional handling or visual confirmation. The system allows users to maintain concentration and situational awareness during low light operations without breaking focus to confirm activation.
“The MARCO HR represents the next step in our continued mission to challenge outdated equipment concepts through smarter and lighter design.
This system was engineered to solve a real operational problem by reducing unnecessary movement, reducing load, and increasing efficiency when performance matters most.”
Eric Suarez, VP of Marketing
The MARCO HR can be loaded in under one minute using the user’s preferred chemlight color including blue, green, red, IR, and white options which are sold separately.
For users who prefer a more traditional carry configuration, the MARCO HR can also be paired with the new Ten Speed Belt Pouch Hanger, which holds three larger chem sticks while maintaining a cleaner and more streamlined profile than traditional taped bundles.
For more than twenty years, Blue Force Gear has led the tactical equipment industry through advanced materials, patented technologies, and a relentless focus on reducing unnecessary weight without sacrificing durability or capability. Trusted by military and law enforcement professionals worldwide, BFG products are engineered to increase mobility, reduce fatigue, and improve operational effectiveness.
The MARCO HR continues that legacy with a purpose-built solution designed for the realities of modern operations.
