"Honestly, first time I saw (the ENVG-B,) I was skeptical," said Roth, who served in combat with the 2nd Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment, early in his career and understands the needs of the combatant to move swiftly and maintain constant situational awareness. "It has to deliver both, and I couldn't see that a year ago, early in the process. I couldn't envision a time when Soldiers would accept this product and trust it in the field."
That all changed when Roth participated in his first STP at Fort Drum, New York, where he watched a Marine lay on his back, fire over his shoulder, and hit targets at 50 and 100 meters using the Family of Weapons Sights -- Individual, which gives the ENVG-B Rapid Target Acquisition capabilities, essentially the ability to see a target with the goggle wirelessly paired to the optic on the weapon.
"He hit five out of seven. It gave me chill bumps," Roth said. "I decided this was an insane game changer. I'm a believer, one hundred percent. Nothing else offers these kinds of capabilities; I've seen it for myself, and I've heard it from hundreds of Soldiers and Marines."
