Bullets and Tourniquets are not the only thing that missions/patrols require...
The Rear Document Stacker or RDS is a zippered pouch designed to interface to the rear of our ARC Placard V3, EPV2 and other Placards with One Wrap Velcro® Straps. The RDS is about 10" Wide, 5.5" Deep and around 1/2" Thick and designed to carry mission essential documents like reports, maps, lists and other pertinent papers.
Features:
-10" x 5.5" x 0.5" Pouch for documents, maps, notebooks and other flat goods.
-Hook & Loop Velcro® Front and Rear for attaching to compatible placards
-OneWrap Velcro® straps for adjusting height and hardware
PLEASE NOTE:
This product to our knowledge is compatible with our ARC Placard V3 and Elastic Placard V2. All other placards are most likely incompatible.
It is recommended to attach First Spear Split Bar Tubes and your cummerbund to the mounted placard to properly compress the RDS when stowed. Failure to retain the placard may cause the entire set up to sag.

It accordions well but is clearly best used with flatter contents like maps and tables, a streamlined FMP, or items attached to a rigid insert.
As part of the ARC system, this is well-supported via hook and loop panels, straps through bits and pieces, and the tubes closures on the placard. It's low profile af, adding basically nothing to your gut standoff/prone ergonomics.
Colour is important. Even behind the ARC and a wide GP, there is a lot of visible black. I'll probably try to source another one, because this is a fn great solution.
Would like to see a future iteration with additional grommet and/or mesh ventilation, maybe a rigid structural insert option secured with hook and loop panels. I've had waterproof notebooks and map cases get swamped and grow mold in hot/humid field work, it would be super cool to have this admin pouch with some "drain and dry" mitigation features for when you're spending a few weeks in non-permissive wetlands.
The RDS is a convenient solution to keeping field/patrol essentials in a place that was previously unutilized while maintaining a low, flat profile while empty, and with map markers, rite in the rains, a map and a mointaineering compass was still very flat laying and unobstructive of my magazines and other items, as well as not inhibiting the ease of doning/doffing my plate carrier.
