About us:

DefenseReview.com (DefRev) is primarily an online tactical technology magazine that focuses on advanced tactical armament (including, but not limited to, small arms/firearms1, edged weapons, less-lethal weapons, and light weapons), tactical equipment/gear2 (including combat/tactical camouflage technology), and tactical training/instruction for military infantry forces (especially military infantry Special Operations forces, i.e. military SpecOps), law enforcement (LE) SWAT/SRT teams and 1st Responders, executive protection specialists (a.k.a. VIP protection specialists), private military company (PMC) operators/contractors, and tactically minded civilians--including civilian CCW’s3 (Concealed Carry Licensees).  Defense Review strives to bring you the most up-to-date information on law enforcement (LE) SWAT/SRT and military Special Operations (infantry) technology developments as quickly as we learn about them.  We want DefenseReview to be a truly useful and up-to-the-minute resource for professional LE SWAT operators and military41786  Special Operations/Special Warfare (SpecWar) operators, federal law enforcement officers, private military company (PMC) operators/contractors, VIP/executive protection specialists (bodyguards), security consultants, gun cognoscenti, tactically minded civilians (i.e. CCW’s), tactical weaponry (tactical armament) and equipment buffs, and gun enthusiasts.

Occasionally, DefenseReview (DefRev) also publishes stories on other military infantry/military SpecOps/SpecWar technologies, including, but not limited to, military infantry items like missile systems, infantry artillery systems (howitzers, for example), grenade launchers (including multiple grenade launchers (MGL’s) and automatic grenade launchers (AGL’s) ), tactical robots, laser weapons systems, tactical ground vehicles (light strike vehicles/fast attack vehicles, armored personnel carriers, armored fighting vehicles, and tanks), and aerial vehicles (including, but not limited to, helicopters, counterinsurgency/ground attack fighter planes, and UAV’s4).  

DefenseReview.com is profoundly interested in the area of infantry soldier protection and armament, LEO (law enforcement officer) protection/defense, and civilian CCW protection/defense.  So, tactical firearms/small arms (either Mil/LE or civilian-legal), light weapons, body armor, tactical shooting instruction/training, and tactical operations training, are all very important topics to us here.  As things develop in the 21st Century counterinsurgency operations (and thus the need for counterinsurgency training) will most likely increase, so counterinsurgency (operations and training) will most likely be a topic of increased discussion here at “Defense Review”.  So will executive protection/VIP protection.  Security and surveillance equipment and techniques will thus also be topics of interest for us.

Ultimately, DefenseReview.com (DefRev) provides you with an online magazine/community where you can get the latest news, as well as the TRUTH, about tactical weaponry (small arms and light weapons), equipment (tactical gear), and training.  “Defense Review” (DefRev) WILL NOT cow-tow to the major firearms manufacturers and military defense contractors.  We will, however, be honest and fair in our reporting.  If your interest lies in edged weapons (knives) or hand-to-hand combat, those topics will be covered, as well.  Defense Review will listen to its members, and try to provide both information and features that our members want.

So, thank you for stopping by our site.  I and the rest of the DefenseReview.com staff sincerely hope you enjoy your experience here.  We hope that DefenseReview proves to be a useful resource for you.  If you like what you see here, we would encourage you to sign up as a DefenseReview member, so that you can participate (by commenting on the stories that we publish) and sign up for our DefenseReview newsletter (DefRev Newsletter).
