Top 4 Must-Have Storage Features for the National Guard
10/29/2021
The National Guard has special requirements for storing items, much different than your typical run-of-the-mill storage solutions. This includes securing high-value items, storing rugged and deployable equipment and gear, and having enough versatile space for both large and small items needed on the fly. Because of this, we have put together a comprehensive list of the top must-have storage features needed on the field.
1. Secure
It is important to secure sensitive items in order to maintain accountability for guard soldier readiness, operation security, and mission success. Losing high value items could mean compromising the mission at hand, as teams count on every piece of equipment to work together for top performance in the field.
Our armory storage solutions were built specifically with sensitive items in mind, including firearms, ammunition, optics, and other important equipment. Not only are they highly secure, but allow for quick issuing when needed.
2. Rugged
All things military mean all things tactical. Items must be able to withstand the extremes in temperature, climate, and situations. Storage is no exception — storage for the National Guard needs to be strong enough to safely secure items.
That’s why our Universal Weapons Racks (anchor) prevent items from any movement, vibration, shock, and abrasion. Not only rugged in design, the adjustable racks allow weapons of various lengths to fit.
3. Accessible
Immediate deployment is obviously common, and having storage facilities that are ready to promptly issue gear is a necessity. Whether you need to store personal mobility bags, cold-weather packs, warm-weather packs, chemical packs, bulk bags storage, or any other essential gear and equipment, you need storage that easily allows you to organize, fit, and support it all.
Perfect for deployments, we offer a variety of High-Density Mobile Storage systems options including low-profile, standard mobile, heavy-duty, and off-site mobile shelving. These options allow your gear to be easily accessible and organized, while also offering the safety and security features you need.
4. Versatile
The last thing guard soldiers want to worry about in the field is where to store equipment and supplies, whether big or small. One example of this is vehicle and aircraft maintenance. Not only is storage needed for large, heavy parts, but for small parts and service manuals. All of these items need to be organized in a way that allows for easy deployment and accessibility.
Our heavy duty mobile racking was made with this in mind and can accommodate up to 30,000 lbs per carriage section, while also accommodating small bins for parts and tools. Our mobile racking has been proven to increase storage capacities by 2x or more, making it the perfect solution for all things National Guard.
