FiST Collaboration Kit

Our best-selling system - Now with NSNs 

The collaborations between Rite in the Rain and Battle Board keep growing. This FiST collaboration combines our popular 4.0 boards with high-end YKK Aquaguard zippers and a redesigned sleek angular back panel. Our signature abrasion-resistant polycarbonate and Made in the USA quality continue to ensure you get the highest performance. 

A FiST (Fire Support Team) controls the indirect fire whizzing over the complex battlefield. They refer to multiple maps, templates, and reports to manage the chaotic environment filled with artillery, bombs, and mortars to support the troops on the ground. Oftentimes, FiSTers use both a map and a battle tracking template at once, hence the need for two surfaces. Find the configuration that works the best for your mission.

Battle Boards are designed as stand-alone tools, but also as components of modular and expandable systems. The Battle Board FiST comprises the Expedition and Swift - a system designed to provide two writing and display surfaces as well as one internal storage compartment. The two boards link together using the opposing loops and straps of our patented quick-change system. These features come standard with every board and enable you to mix and match any size and any type (Expedition or Swift) to create the setup you prefer.
