FiST 4.0 - Medium

Our best-selling and most functional system 

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 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 4.0 comprises the Expedition 4.0 and the Swift 4.0 - 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.

The key to our design comes from the set of dimensions common between sizes and types of Battle Boards. For example, just as the FiST comprises two boards of the same size, the Expedition and the Swift, you could also easily combine two Swift boards or two Expedition boards together.
