The Tactical Games were created to provide a platform to test the skills and readiness of tactical athletes from all backgrounds, including military, law enforcement, competitive shooting and civilian gun enthusiasts.

Rodman, who is a 15-year veteran of the Kokomo, Indiana, police force and SWAT team, was running Blackhawk’s T-Series L3D holster and Foundation Series Tac Nylon gear during the event, including plate carrier, belt and pouches.

“New Mexico was a blast, and a really challenging environment,” Rodman said. “Having gear that’s minimalist in design was a real advantage, especially during the two-mile run that included a 100- to 500-yard rifle stage. It is great to have light, low-profile gear that doesn’t hinder complicated movements, so I can focus on the competition.”

Rodman’s next competition will be April 15-16 at the Tactical Games South Carolina Team event at the SawMill Training Complex in Laurens, South Carolina. Once again, he will be competing with teammate Jared Halbert, with whom he captured a second-place finish at the Tactical Games Panthera West Virginia Team competition.
