    I believe these were produced by the 9th ID "skunkworks" at Ft. Lewis
    WA.  I saw many of them used by the 9th ID, so they definately existed
    and were fielded, in at least limited numbers.  However since a) the
    9th ID is being/has been shut down, b) it was a light ID, and I'm not
    sure if they're in favour anymore, I'm not certain if they exist anymore.
