The CCW is a force multiplier that was created out of a need that was significant yet has never seriously been addressed. The CCW provides a balance to the war fighters Night Vision Goggles and is a supporting versatile tool that increases surgical target acquisition and mission execution. To manage and conquer the challenges faced on today’s battlefield, whether urban, jungle, desert, or mountainous, “operators world-wide need to have effective gear that is simple to use and have a preferable multipurpose in function. In this case the challenge is how to increase wear and compliance of Night Vision Goggle Devices (hence maximizing its utility), while minimizing neck strain, cervical spine injury and combat fatigue.

OM27 – S Combat Assault Tool
The OM27-S (Shrike) Combat Assault tool is a multi-functioning combat shovel that is currently the most technologically advanced assault & digging tool available to the modern American Soldier. The OM27-S Shrike Combat Assault tool combines elements of modern design, equally offering multiple functions for combat effectiveness in one tool as well as ease-of-use in any dynamic multiple-theatre environment. The OM27-S Shrike multi-function combat shovel benefits the war fighter greatly from years of research and development in both shovel dynamics and design innovation. This tactical break-through comes from the testimony of battlefield-tested operators, which add to the overall reason this tool was created. The absolute effectiveness of the OM27-S Shrike Combat Assault tool makes it a battlefield necessity for every soldier, just as the M4.
In addition to new innovative technologies, the Shrike Combat Shovel outperforms other shovels currently in issue. The unique specifications and functions of this tool, coalescing with the all–in-one design, gives each operator an edge with which to work while outperforming the old standard used since 1964. The tool still retains the history and tradition of previous assault & digging tools, however it stands alone in quality and functionality. Digging performance increases in austere environments such as extreme cold, mountainous regions, clay soil, or compacted rocky soil. Most soils found in nature are almost always a combination of soil types.
The Shrike Combat Counter weight (CCW) with the OM27-S Combat Assault Tool combines multiple applications for single tool. The OM27-S is replacing other essential tools such as the old service issued E-tool in use since 1964. The advanced capabilities of the OM27-S is a game changer for the pain associated with night Vision wear; yet it is unmatched for building sniper hides or bunker type for fighting positions. The combination of shovel, pry bar, pick, and hammer are essential tools needed for breachers and every urban war fighter. Its design offers numerous other life saving versatility such as having, wire cutting, nail puller, wrench, knife sharpener, and an anchor point for fast rappel. This, “All-in-One” tool is capable of sustaining over 42,000 PSI of critical strength equal to none.
